HELP!!! my car is being a btch
Ok so i just returned from a 7 month deployment from the middle east. I had my car in long term car storage with a cover on her. Noone drove her and the battery was disconected. I was stupid and didn't put any stable in her before i put it in. I crank her over and it starts fine. She's very low on gas so I take her to the nearest station and fill up on premium. At the same time i throw a bottle of dry gas and a bottle of injector cleaner in. She runs good for probably 10 minutes and then starts choking up. I get 2 miles off base and suddenly i have no throttle control and she's stuttering and dying.
I limp back on to base, restarting my car several times and park. Now she won't even idle at all. I figure it might be the plugs. I go ahead and get a new cap, rotor, wires, and plugs. When i pulled the plugs out they were fouled up; wet and black. I check the MAF filament and it's clean. I check the spark distance from the coil and the wire and it's about an inch. I check the fuel pump from the schrader valve and it's working and got good pressure. I took the MAF plug out to see if she would idle in limp mode. No dice. I try and start her in WOT and clear out the cylinders and then a regular start and nothing. The last thing i did was drain 2 gallons of gas via the schrader valve and repeat the whole process minus cap rotor and wires. I'm so tired and confused and angry. Please help me.
Maybe it's bad gas from the station. They were refilling when i was there.

Get some more gas out of it and put it into a clear glass container. If there is water in the gas it will seperate in a matter of seconds and you will be able to see the water on the bottom with a clear line between the water and the gas. How long did the car sit?
