Ok my 93 cobra has been sitting for a while. Since like 2005 and she was put away nice with changing all the fuilds and she sat in a nice warn barn. It first sat from 1995 to 2003 and I drove it start out of the barn and to the track with no problems.

But now she is getting REALLY hot, and falls on her face at around 3 grand??? I have checked everything I can think of and I'm lost. I even changed the spark plugs. The cap and rotor were done right before she got set in the barn.

Any help would be nice. I want to drive her before she gets put away again for 2 more years.

sounds like bad gas to me man as far as the stumbling goes. and check the fan clutch to see if its still good....usually if they sit that long they will go bad.

I'll drop the tank and change the gas. The fan clutch? So I should change the fan out?

yep

+1 on the gas, I would change the fuel filter too. You may need to run a good strong fuel injector cleaner thru a tankfull also as they may be gummed up also.

Also, I would try to reburp the system...
