Default Sick Firehawk111

I drove my car today for the first time after it being garaged for a couple months and it runs terrible. I put Stabil in the tank before storing it, and I start it up every two weeks and let it run until operating temperature and even been driving around the complex. Once i started driving it today the engine light start flashing and and it acts like its suffering for power. I am thinking maybe just the O2 sensors. Didn't get a chance to take it to get scanned. Not really worried about it, but do anyone have any ideas what coulld have caused it? Couldn't drive to hard because slipping clutch won't help the situation any

I'd probably do a once over of all the connectors I could find in the engine bay to make sure nothing is loose and to make sure there weren't any wires that had been worn through. I'd probably clean the MAF sensor too...

Thanks, got it checked. Looked like one of the spark plug wires came loose.

It's almost always the dumbest things that can cause the biggest headaches...did that seem to fix all of your issues?
