Got a 2001 gt that has been in storage for a while now. Went out today to drive it and it has a terrible miss. Before it went up for storage i replaced to plugs. The miss starts after the high idle drops off. Took it around the block and it also misses the entire rpm range. Any ideas? Maybe moisture formed on the plugs from it not being ran in so long?

Pull the coils, blow any moisture out, make sure the boots are in good shape. If that isn't the problem, put a stethoscope on each injector while it is running, should hear a distinct clicking. If it isn't an injector problem then it is most likely bad fuel.

Good Luck!

Agreed on likely bad fuel.
