yea, you can use starting fluid...i have on a 99 before.
It sat for 2-3 years before i tried starting it...long story short, it wouldn't quite start up and run. I needed to drive it home so, a few nice 10-20 second plus continuous shots of starting fluid through the intake manifold while cranking the starter, and the unthinkable happened...
it started! It sputtered while we were cranking and ran after that. Drove it home 70 some miles, leaking gas the whole way(rotted gas tank). That's a whole different story. Have you ever saved a car from imminent death? yep.
The car has since been largely restored, and i'm still grateful my friend suggested to goose that thing w/ ether that day.
