Car sat for about a week (it started and had no issues before this though). I went to start it and it took a few tries to get it started and when it did it ran really rough and I had to keep giving it gas to stay running. Once it would stay running without my help I let it run for about ten minutes while I swept the carpets. I got in it and back out seemed fine but when I started going it hesitated and seemed like it did not want to move. After a couple miles it seemed to be running better but not perfect. I took it to the car wash and turned it off while I washed it and when I went to start it it took about five minutes of cranking to get it started and it ran horrible the entire eight to ten mile trip home. At one point it slowed down from 62 to about 50 without any change in pressure on accelerator then went back up to about 65 shortly. I parked it yesterday and it has not started since.
Things I tried were cleaned the MAF, air cleaner that did not help any. Fuel pump seems to be kicking on as I can hear it when I turn key on without trying to start the car. I tried starter fluid in the carburetor thinking maybe a clogged fuel filter, but it would not start still. Not to good at diagnosis but usually can fix the issues if I know what it is. So any help at potential issues or things to try would be great!
