88' 5.8 EFI

My truck(88' Bronco, red/tan, 5.8 efi, eddie bauer) was sitting in my garage for 2 years, and when I started it up the other day, the throttle response was poor... What could be the problem?

Just keep driving it, and let things settle out. Try some fuel system cleaner, and give the throttle body a shot of throttle body cleaner, and double check your filters.
