Default 1993 968 WON'T START!!

So I put my car in winter storage last year in November, pulled it out the first week of April (fired right up) only drove it a couple of times and parked it in my garage at home. Went to start it last night, first time in about 5 months and NOTHING.. It just cranks and cranks.. Battery is fine, has over 1/4 tank of 5 mo. old gas in it. In a desperate attempt to start it I shot starting fluid through the air box and it started fine... It will only run until the shot of fluid is gone.. I don't know where to start.. Fuel filter, fuel pump etc.. Is there anything "typical" that it could be?? Thanks in advance!
