Pinpointing one part is not going to be easy. Not driving and storing a vehicle wreaks havoc on the fuel system. Really bad with ethanol gas. Have you emptied the old fuel. New fuel and a heavy dose of Techron or other injection cleaner may help clean things up. Also an "Italian tune up" can be beneficial.
