If it sat that long wouldn't hurt to throw on a new fuel filter and run some 93 OCTANE to really clean out that fuel system.....Good luck!

With the check engine light coming on and going off while driving your knock sensor may not be connected securely. When an ear on my knock sensor connector broke it was just hanging and would cause the check engine light to come and go. When the light was on it would retard the timeing and make the car run like crap.

If you see blue sparks at night when you look under the hood at night the wires are cracked and letting the spark gound before it reaches your plugs. The knock sensor, if I remember correctly is on the passengers side of the block below the exhaust manifold. You will have to be under the car to get to it.
