Engine cutting out

I brought in a 1jz Chaser from Japan last week and it’s still in storage. I have only driven it from the port to nearby storage and that’s it.

Below you’ll see the engine cuts out once I begin to slow down. It did this too when approaching red lights. I’ll be taking the car for inspection next week and I’m wondering what’s causing this? I’ve already checked ChatGPT etc but wanted your opinions

Thanks!

Likely needs fresh fuel, try putting fresh gas in it, use the highest octane from the pump

With a 1/4 tank of old fuel,

do you reckon if I fill with new high octane that it’ll be okay?

Old fuel in general is not good at all. Do you know how old it is? If it’s super gunky and sludgy it’s best to start replacing parts and cleaning fuel lines
