Car sat for winter, code 44

Would it just be safe to assume the 91 Regal is trowing a 44 cuz it hasn't been driven in like 6 months and my parents never put any kinda fuel stabilizer in there and the gas is just old?

It's also throwing a 35, IAC which it never threw before...

A site listed it as this:

35 Engine idle speed is either 300 RPM above or below the desired idle speed for 50 seconds.

 

Is that accurate, if so, does it just need an idle relearn and some drygas?

 

Edit: While someone who may answer that may read, I was also wondering...

 

What exactly does this mean:

33 MAP sensor voltage was too high for 4.8 seconds when throttle angle was less than 2%.

 

Sorry, I'm kinda dumbed by that, not that that's a challenge...lol

1. your IAC is probably dirty or not functioning

2. the map issue may be due to a vacuum leak or the MAP sensor or its wiring is bad.

 

and i forget, what is a code 44?

sorry, it's O2 sensor lean

 

could be bad gas, once that tanks empty, and i mean empty, just enough to keep the fuel pump from sucking rust and air through, load some good gas into it, drive it a while and reset the ECM...

 

that'll tell you if its bad winter gas....
