Default think i have opti problems?

My 93 z28 has been sitting all winter. now when i drive it from a dead stand still , when you hit the gas engine boggs and pops through the intake.like the timing is searching . no engine light on and when warm it gets better at cruise.but if you stop and start again it stilldies down and pops.always would light up the tires at stand still.
any clues guys? thanks

when mine went out i first started noticing it going up hills under a load and it would buck and it kept getting worse.you may just need to go through a tank or 2 of gas with some injector cleaner also.
