Car RPM drops on full throttle, no power

Maintenance/Repairs

I have a 1988 Alfa Romeo 75 3.0 V6, with 75k miles. It’s been off the road for 5 years. Been working on the car for a while.

Taking the car for a test drive, it lacks power and the RPM drops when you apply full throttle, followed by a pop from the engine. There is no power, and the car feels generally unhealthy.
The idle is okay when warm, however sometimes (usually when cold) the idle becomes very low and sometimes cuts out.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
