Are you parked inside or outside?

Was it a full tank?

The possibility of water in tank increases with being outside and having a less than full tank. (condensation)

I am not sure if our gas tanks have a drain plug. Someone can chime in. That would be the ideal situation, to be able to drain tank completely and start with fresh gas.

Obviously you can sample gas too and see whats going on.

Otherwise, check air intake system, moisture/oil on coils/plugs. Car sits, oil, water can creep into unwanted places. through a bottle of REDLINE S1 fuel treatment in tank, fill up, Take it for a drive first and see if problem persists.
I'm parked inside a garage under a cover and it was a little more than half a tank. I started it 2 months ago and at that point it sat for 3 months and it ran like a dream. That's why I'm so confused. I have no idea if there's a drain plug or not I'll have to look into that. If so I'll be doing that. And try the treatment you suggested. Let me know if there's any other possibility. I'll check the intake system for moisture as well.
