Default Slight misfire

Hi everyone, Iv just bought a Subaru Impreza type R,STI from my best mate,It’s been sat for 2 years started occasionally but not driven. Iv started it up and it has a slight misfire Iv checked the plugs, Leads , Fuel filter was clean ,but it’s still not running right. Does any one have any other Ideas of what it could be ? Or suggestions of what to look for next ?

This wouldn't happen to be the one owned previously by @gpssti4

Get some pictures up

I'd say fuel, if its the original thats been sat in there for a few years. Throw in some high octane and see if that sorts the issue out.

Indeed, it's my old car. It's been sat for a while and so it could just be bad fuel. He's checked the spark so probably not, plugs, leads or coil pack. I did wonder if it could be an injector that's gone down.
