the car starts but only when the pedal is to the floor, anr spits and sputter until it plains out at like 4000 rpms, when you let your foot off the gas it idles down and dies, if you hit the gas to quick it almost stalls also. the car hasnt ran for 2yrs so im thinkin maybe bad gas? any ideas? it smokes a little bit too.

If you have gas in there from 2yrs ago first thing you need to do is flush and remove all that old gas.You could also have a bad coolant temp sensor but the gas issue need's to be addressed first.Let me know what you find.
