When I take off at a light it hesitates a lot and belches black smoke and then starts to roll and accelerates. I can hear the turbine spin up. This vehicle sat around awhile so I suspect some gunk in the fuel. I plan on changing the two fuel filters.
Is there a special procedure to change the filters?
Is there anything else I should look at.
I've only had this vehicle 6 hours so any advice would be appreciated
