Engine problem?

I have a 1988 Bronco, (red/tan, eddie bauer, 5.8 efi) My truck has been sitting on the side of my house for 2 years and when I started it up the other day, the throttle responce was very poor, what could be the problem? fuel filter, injectors, spark plugs? I need help!!

Engine problem?

If its been sitting for two years without running (assuming I am reading the post correctly)my guess would be sticky linkage, dirty throttle body, corrosion at electrical connections, and just lack of lubrication to moving parts...oil change, tune up, clean electrical contacts etc. will all help.

Definately....could, (most likely does) have a lot of water in it from sitting through summer heat/humidilty and cold.
