dies when coming to stop and hesitates when cruising in5th gear

Yo all ! Im in need of help, got a rx-8 2006 MT put a few mods on it like a cold air / cat back / pulleys. I decided to do a body kit so I backed it in garage lol noticed gas was on empty and I mean on the line . so it been in there for ohh 1 1/2 months . In that time I started it up moved it like 15 feet turned it off then maybe 1 hr. later moved it back into the garage like alot, right before I got done I moved it again when it started it sounded differant like ruff I still pulled it out and then when I was done sanding backed it up back into the garage. To let ya know befor this the car ran sweet with all bolt ons, So the cars done I start it up boggie to the gas staition cause I know there no gas, idles good sounds a little strange non the less I get to the stop sign I always just throw it it nutral and stop kinda fast well the dam car dies, so I start it up take off thinking **** Im going to run out of gas so I get to stop light car wants to die so I give it gas it keep it going. I get threw that light and got about a 5 block run to gas staion I get it into 4th gear cruising it and it start to hesitates so I give it gas runs good as soon as I cruise it again it does it again so I give it gas make it to gas station slap 20 in and take off back Home **** does all that again HELP ! changed spark plugs still does it what ya all think ? sorry I made it long just wanted ya to know whats up and Help a poor brother out LMAO brain buster Oh no engine lite either Im triping out

What Rx8urz said - go for a good drive and tell us if it gets better/worse.

Does sound like fuel starvation, might have some crap in the tank from old gas.....

put some premix in and see if it helps.

if premix in and no more dying, your engine has a problem and go have compression test.

if its still like that, its something else.
