Back story, my 93 5.0 has been sitting up for a few years. It's not wasn't in bad shape or anything just kids and life happened. Well started back trying to get it on the road.

No havnt checked anything with the fuel pressure. Going to check vaccum lines tomorrow. In the past its usually been a vaccum issue.

It smells strong, iddle hangs up and takes a while to come back down and no power.
