Got car outa five month storage and...
it wont idle right, it hesitates on acceleration, and in low RPMs, it tries to die, but doesnt. ??? I dont understand, I replaced all the ignition stuff (coil, cap, rotor, wires, plugs) so it cant be an ignition gremlin, Im confused. Thanks for any help. BTW, the car ran phenomenally before I put it in storage.

Sounds like condensation in the gas...
Try some gas dryer, or denatured alcohol, or something; run the tank as near dry as you dare; then fill it up with fresh gas. It should get much better.
