if it comes down to it I will do that but I don't believe that will be the source.

coil pack? Or maybe when you put the fresh gas in you loosend up some sludge and clogged your Fuel injectors?

coil pack was replaced about a year before it sat. I had one other person say I may have clogged injectors. What is the possibility of a clogged filter or a bad FPR?

Well filter is probably more likely than your injectors as it would of caught it all first I guess. But FPR.... eh... I wouldnt think you would have these issues. It sounds like a lack of fuel or spark versus running pig rich. Just IMO. Im just thinking with it sitting for a year or so, unless you drained the tank before it sat the gas easily varnished and you may have just broke all that up with your mix of good gas, sea foam, and ISO Heat.

Well it a for sure running very rich. You can smell it a ton in the exhaust and all four of my plugs are already covered in soot. I have a buddy with a 91 turbo that let his sit for a while like a few months and had that but it cleared up in 3 days.

Nothing is going in this stock car except stock parts for sure. That would sure suck if its a second bad coil pack... That just doesn't seem right.

switched out coil pack with the talon's with no change. I am going towards FPR or bad fuel. A guy at work told me to take off the vacuum hose to the FPR and see if fuel comes out but he did not tell me what that would indicate.

In my eyes I believe I am seeing too much fuel for the car to bear.
