I parked this car about two weeks ago and just tried to get it running again today. After several tries it did start and I was able to keep it going at about 2000 rpm. If I let it fall below this it stalls and is difficult to start.

When I attempt to put it into gear [it is a manual transmission] it dies almost immediately. I have been able to get it to move onto the driveway from its storage position however with much revving ,etc.

If I am able to get it running it will run steadily at 2000 rpm.

This is a B23 engine with CIS fuel injection. It has been a very reliable engine for over twenty years now but I have been neglecting it of late I have to say. I am not much of an expert on fuel injection systems and do feel a little lost as to how to approach the problem.

Weather here is good and warm but the fuel gauge is reading below the half way mark. Not sure if I might have water in the gas from the layover.
