I bought my current 88GTU that was sitting for many years, it took a good couple weeks of on and off driving before it started running right.
I say keep driving it when you are in an area where if it dies no big deal. If you are hitting a wall at 3800rpm then it may be stuck actuators.

Bad gas? Have you read the FAQ? Did you search? Those are all good things to try.. The FAQ will most likely have your solution.

If it's been sitting and you started it without properly preparing the engine, you have filled the fuel system full of junk. See these links for information:

You need to drain the tank, replace the filters, and flush out the system. Probably have the injectors cleaned as well as their screens will be plugged.

Sounds like your original problem is due to a vacuum leak or failing BAC valve.
