Exclamation Can't Idle

Okay I know this may have been covered a few times, but my case is a little different so I made a new thread.

-I stored my FC in the garage for 4 days and couldn't resist taking it out for a drive again. Before I let it sit for that small amount of time it ran perfectly. Idle was at 850 rpm when warm and the needle wouldn't move from there. Now I started the car up and let it warm up and once it did I took it to a parking lot that I like taking pictures at. Once i was done I started my car and it idled fine for 20 sec or so then started to sputter between 850-400 rpm, then it died.
-I checked my two vacuum lines that usually were the problem to this behavior and they were connected and fine. I have a boost guage and my vacuum pressure was fine too.
-Now I am stumped as to what the problem is
Could water have gotten into the gas over 4 days or what??? Please help me!!
