Default drove it today... now it has a miss

Took it down the street today for the 1st time in 3 years... Now I have a bad miss. it's doing that popping sound...
Had it idiling in the garage about 20 times with no problem and now its running like crap. Where do I start.
Thanks

nope... ****... forgot about the gas. I was running really low on fuel. Like when the front was jacked up it wouldnt run.. So i topped it off.
mabee I should drain the gas and start with new...
Any easy way to drain the gas?

Harbor freight has syphon hoses. or a garden hose might work. hopefully you didnt suck 3 years worth of bottom of the tank sludge into the fuel pump/lines/filter/injectors.
