I have the car listed above z28, I just bought it and had been sitting for 4 years. so, I changed the fuel pump, drained gas, new fuel filter, installed headers, new plugs and wires, and a new throttle response sensor. It starts right up but really sluggish has no throttle response. Any help would be great. Thank you in advance.

This can be caused by a MAF that needs to be replaced or the catalytic converter is getting clogged. here is two guides that can help us, and I have included how to change out the MAF sensor in the images below. Also check the air filter.

Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.
