Drive around like normal for 10 minutes pull over and take brake temps of all 4.... You may have a sticky brake holding you back and not feel it?

You mention it sat a long long, how long? Was the battery dead? Could be the computer reset and is still working out the right mixture. Also fuel can get contaminated sitting a long time, fill it up and add a can of Sea Foam, that will help clean everything out.
