Breaking up after 2 months sitting

Good Day. After a short period of time, 60 days of not running, other then a single start of just idle, I have an issue. The car starts and idles fine. Huge mis when throttle is giving. Partial or full, same thing. I am thinking fuel. I put Stabil in with a full tank in late November. Ran half the tank down and it sat for 60 days half full. I have added 5 gls of fresh fuel along with red line fuel system cleaner. The car is now idling in hopes the fresh fuel will work it's way through. No change.

Fuel filter and check plugs?

3.2 1984 109k miles

Thanks for your help. Dave

can you put a long screwdriver on each injector and listen for clicking?

Did you have the fuel injectors rebuilt?

I recommend Witchhunter.

Injectors have not been redone to my knowledge. I have had the car since 55k. 16 years. May need it I suppose. Will look closer

I can here all six injectors ticking with a long screw driver. All sound the same.

May not be that they aren't working. Could be partially plugged.

I'd send them off for cleaning. While that's going on, I'd also change the fuel filter.

Again - I recommend witchhunter. They give a nice before and after readout of your spray pattern/efficiency.
