Your fuel pressure guage should read somewhere in the mid to high 30s. Is this multipoint fuel injection or central fuel injection? How about the fuel filter, did you change that? Maybe after sitting for so long the rubber fuel lines have deteriorated a bit clogging the injectors?

I don't know if tbi pressure should be the same as mfi pressure, but mfi pressure is supposed to be the following:

Key On Engine Off 35 - 45 psi Key On Engine Running 28 - 33 psi

Could be a few different things, fuel problem, air intake problem, electrical problem. I would scan for any codes stored in the computer's memory and post them here.
