hey all I need some help.

My car has been sitting without use for about 10 days. It has been outside and covered. Last time I ran it, it ran fine... smooth and no issues. Today, when I went out to start it, it simply wouldn't start. It would crank and crank and crank no problem, but no go.
I managed to get it to a downhill slope and popped the clutch as it was rolling, and the car sputtered to a very little bit of life. i couldn't take a load off or put a load on the gas, or it would die. i managed to drive down the driveway and back but i couldn't take it out of first or past 2000 rpms. it sounded really sick. i got her in the driveway and it just died. i have no idea what to do.

The MAF is in the correct position, I'm throwing no codes (checked with my diablo), and I smell absolutely no gasoline. the only thing that I can think of is that it has been EXTREMELY humid here this past week and has recently rained... is it possible that my electronics got some moisture in them or something?

any ideas on where to start (coil packs/plugs, fuel pump etc.) would be great. thanks in advance.

When mine sits for a couple of days it'll start then die and then I'll have to start it again only happens when it sits for a couple of days.

She's just mad because I haven't spent anytime with her so she wants to give me trouble!
