today i got my new dsm its a 92 eclipse AWD turbo. its been siting for a while but after i got it started up and was driving it. it dosent have alot of power feel like its not getting fuel or what not.. i was thinking it might be a fuel filter maybe? and idea what i should check or clean up from siting so long.
 
Some of the first things to do is change the oil and fuel filter. Also, do other basic maintenance then, go from there. It's hard to pinpoint the exact problem since it's been sitting and can use some maintenance. Also, there should be a drain plug on the gas tank.
 
If you dont drain it, buy a can of dry gas and fill it with the highest octane avail. to you a bottle of fuel injector cleaner woulnt hurt either.
