Old gas, old (possibly low) oil = bad Do an oil change, get some new gas in there, see if it makes a difference. ---

What kind of noise is it making? Is it comiong from the engine, or the exhaust? My car has been sitting since October with the same tank of gas and fired up right away and purrrrrs. I highly doubt its the gas thats causing it, i’ve personally known of cars that have sat around for years with the same tank of gas and startup and run fine. ---

my car would run rough if i parked it more than a month. some fuels aren’t as stable as others. always make sure to put fuel stabilizer in the tank before you store it. for now, fill it up with new fuel and see if your problem goes away. ---

The gas should be fine, unless something was wrong with it before you stored the car. The truck noises are most likely due to the fact that that it’s a KA. ---
