How long is a while?
If its over 6 months the fuel can go off, this may cause your problem.
There could also be moisture in there, is the car garaged or kept outside?

no not 6 months.. not that long i dont think. No not garaged, its outside.
tbh all i know is that it was left for a certain period but not when he starts it, idle is very lumpy... Would it be worth leaving it running for a while..
Sorry for the vaugeness.
