Engine miss after storage-- help
 
I just took our 91 vette out for a drive after setting idle for about 10 weeks. Ran fine on the first drive. Last night, it is missing badly. In fact it sounds like it is pinging as I pull into the garage. It will run smooth part of the time. but if I rev it up at a stop light it starts running rough. Any ideas as to where I should look? Any Wisconsinites know of a good shop near Appleton. I sure appreciate any help anyone can offer.

Water in the fuel/ Gas is bad from the 10 weeks of sitting/ Fuel filter from the previous :D

Just a guess,

Maybe the fuel injectors are clogged or gone bad. Try running some fuel injector cleaner on a low tank of gas. If you didn't stabilize your gasoline last year before storage it may be possible that the injectors have gummed up just sitting over winter.

sounds like a problem in the fuel line somewhere, prolly fuel filter or water in the gas.
