Try manually pulling the shifter down to 1st gear...you may be stuck in 3rd and at idle, this will stall the engine.

If you are running that high of compression you need to run premium fuel, and perhaps octane booster. That could be your problem.

Also could be water in your tank... due to being sitting for a while... use some sea foam or isoheet.
