You hit the nail on the head - I haven't owned the car very long and it definitely sat for quite a while. My indie showed me the "gas" that he drained out of the tank. It looked like vinaigrette that hadn't been shaken...... He put a new fuel filter in.

As advised, I've run several tanks of gas through it with a bottle of Techron in each. He told me to overdose it the first few tanks just to get all the old crud out of there.

I am starting to notice a bit of an intermittent miss at idle, and I wonder if there is any correlation as noted in that post you linked for me.

Man, where to start?
