Thank you
and welcome home
it sat for two years
I would still recheck the tune up and make sure its firing on all cylinders
check for codes
as I believe you have a check engine light on as engine running
most local part store will help in scanning it for you for free and they will give u a code s
let me know what you have

check MAF sensor
