    :beer Friend just bought an 87 Buick Lesabre V6 Fuel Injected, car tends to cut out during acceleration, i found out the car sat for a couple years before she got it. Im telling her its a fuel problem and needs the fuel system flushed or cleaned out since it sat for a couple of years. If that isnt it what advice should i give next maybe a fuel injector? thanks.

    Yeah, it probably is a fuel problem...fill the tank with new gas and some fuel system cleaner then change the fuel filter. If that doesn't fix it look at changing the spark plugs and wires depending on how many miles it has--basically, give it a thorough "tune up" and start from there
