" "
I have a 2001 chevy impala with about 150,000 miles on it. It sat for about 2 weeks and when I went to drive it again it has a rough idle and shudders and sputters whenever I drive it, mainly on acceleration(flat and uphill). kind of feels like its going to shut off because of a lack of gas, but the gas is fine no water in it. I used heet and a fuel line/injector cleaner just in case and still have a problem. It was fine before I parked it aside from random high idle and slight forced acceleration whenever it felt like doing so, once or twice every 6 months or so.

Check throttle position sensor, clean out throttle body, check fuel filter and clean mass air flow sensor. Get a code test done if problem persists, or you will be chasing your tail on that. Your tank can hold over a gallon of water before it reaches the pump pickup. You would need over two gallons of additive to remove it, and at that point, fuel would be so contaminated by water and additive that it's doubtful if it would even start.
