Well i got on the hatch for the first time since i got it. bogs pretty good at 5.4 and it wont hit redline. So im assuming since its been sitting for 8 months in oregon weather it needs a fuel fitler and a good tune which i knew but i wanted to ask a few of you guys. Other then that fucker is stout. Runs good

other then if i dont let it warm up for a good 5 minutes and just take off fucker starts bogging bad. almost like it wants to turn off. then it studding sound like missing like super fast. But warmed up runs like a dream. wierd but its something small.

what you guys think

yeah i think you are right bout the tune up bit and the fuel filter.
prob an idea to drain the tank and flush the lines out at the same time and runa carb/ injector cleaner through it to.
and the normal plugs, leads, cap and rotor and see what that does for the miss fire. if its been sitting for a long time, there is a good chance that its got some water in the fuel and that wont help.
