sounds like your injectors are sticking open. pull them out and clean them up real good. ALso, replace your O2 sensors, they are probably as old as the car is

I'd check your oil. When I got my fox it had an injector stuck open and the oil smelled like it had gas in it.

you don't start throwing parts at it just yet, CONFIRM THE ISSUE, CHECK FUEL pressure first with a gauge, if a injector is hung open, leakdown on the gauge will confirm it, FURTHERMORE YOU CAN KILL TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE BY TESTING FUEL PRESSURE you can see if it has excessive pressure or a bad fuel pressure regulator....a rupture diaphram could be the cause too, pull the line to the regulator and make sure it isn't wet with fuel, do these things first to narrow the prob to an area

When it sat for a year, did it have fuel stabilizer throughout the fuel system?

You need to slow down, learn what punctuation is and proof read.
I hate to be a grammar ****, but you're not texting one of your friends... you're on a forum.
Your first two post are abortions of the English language... nice first impression.

Yes, trying to help someone out on a forum is easier when the question is typed properly.
