We have some cars at school that we pull in and out of the shop everyday, and thats the extent of there moving... They have alot of carbon build up on them... They all run like crap... We even run them for a couple hours at a time and this doesn't help... I suggest you get some sea foam or a similar product and clean out the top side of the engine.
