Where was the car stored while down for 5 months? Is there any chance any water or rain got in the engine bay?

Remove the ICM connector and make sure it's not corroded. Remove your coils and then pull the ICM off the plate and see if there's any corrosion or water on the bottom.

Easy way to test bad fuel is put a very small amount on concrete and light it. If it just burns it's bad - if it flashes it's good enough to run the car.
It'll have a stale smell as well when bad. Although it takes a very long time for fuel to get bad enough to prevent the car from running.
