I need some help from the good forum people. I have had my 95 Targa put away since early November and today the itch had to be scratched.
When I stored it I put it on plastic sheeting, it is parked on carpeting, and I put some Sta-bil in a full tank of gas.
Today I took it out and noticed it was missing or hesitating when I stepped on it. Once I got to 5000 rpm it felt relatively normal. But, at the low end of the power band it jerked and hesitated.
My immediate thoughts were:
1. Moisture in the gas tank and/or the Stabil burning up
2. A plug wire that a mouse got at (but I checked and could not see any visual evidence of this
3. A bad plug (though the plugs only have about 15k miles on them)
I am not a mechanic and beyond the simple oil change I let most things to professionals. One last piece of info, when I drove it last before parking it in my garage, it was running superbly, as it had been since I got it mid summer of last year.
That is it, any suggestions, comments, thoughts? I am a little freaked out by this so I hope it is something simple.
