Default Help! Car won't run

Car has been parked in my garage for about 2 months. Before I parked it, car was filled with Shell gas and Stabi Fuel added. Went to start it today and the car will turn over but won't idle, tried to give it a little gas and it just chokes out. Please help!

Sounds like low fuel pressure. You might wish to put a pressure guage on it and find out if its at the proper level. Another possibility is that you have water in your tank and sucked it up. Fuel filter?
