Default 1988 Chevy s10 questions

-I finally got my truck on the road...after it was sitting for more than....5+ months....i did occasionally start it few times a week.

-I am driving it to school/home and work/home..and sometimes to gym/friends

-My main concern is the motor seems alittle sluggish and when i press on the gas...it seems like it doesnt go out of its owns way. This especially happens when im on the highway...only around town it runs fine and thats under 50mph...also it shifts pretty hard(automatic)(2.8 V6)

-I think its the cold that is hurting it ....after driving it awhile it seems like it does runs better. Im think it needs the Octane boost fluid by STP.

But i did change the following
-oil
-oil filter
-fuel filter
-spark plugs/wires
-cataylic converter
(i put fuel injection cleaner...but i put it in with old gas that was sitting in there when i first got it and the tank wasnt full)

Should i do change/check anything....I was thinking of flushing the old coolant and maybe the radiator...


THANK YOU for you time on reading this and THANKS in advance

Well that could easly be the problem, try doing the cleaner in a clean tank of gas see if that fixes it, if not see about replacing injectors.
