No it has new fuel it has about 2 gallons of 110
Why would you put race gas? This is not a lawnmower and need WAY more than 2 gallons.
So how did you drain the tank?
And let me guess.. Car has been sitting for 5+Years. All of a sudden you want it to run .. so after it didnt run.. you went and put on a new TPS sensor? Once it doesnt run.. the drama starts.
Car sitting that long.. drop gas tank and flush it out. Start on a new fuel pump new filter, and 10 gallons of fresh 93. I bet the inside of the tank looks like hell. Your next drama will be injectors.. fix all the vacuum lines.. get a proper chip to match injectors.. and start the troubleshooting.

It doesnt have to smoke to have a blown head gasket. Do a compression test. Remove all the spark plugs and make sure the battery is charged or you have at least a 10 amp charger connected.
It's been sitting for five years? Was it out for any quick joy rides?

sitting for 5 years won't necessarily hurt anything- my car sat from the summer of '91 to the spring of '04 when i got it with a blown head gasket.. it had 1/4 tank of gas in it the whole time, but it did start and even move under it's own power on the 12.5 year old gas and on 4 cylinders.
after fixing the head gaskets, i changed the oil and put new antifreeze in it and fired it up.. it ran a little rough, but it cleared up and ran like a beast as soon as i drove it the 3/4 mile to the closest gas station and filled up the tank with some 93 octane. when i changed the fuel filter a couple of months later, it looked brand new inside when i cut it open.
the stock fuel pump died in the summer of '08 and when i dropped the tank, it looked brand new inside. i don't know what killed the fuel pump- it might have been the old gas it was sitting in for all that time, but it did make it 4 years and about 10,000 miles with me before it died and it was making noise from the first day i owned the car..
