Just a thought, but maybe this thread should be consolidated with another similar thread...

Yep, oil and filter change is definately in order.....
How much fuel is in the car? If you are less that a quarter tank I would just fill it with 93 octane and throw a thing of octane booster in it and hope for the best. If you are more than a quarter tank I would drain all the gas you can out . After a year I'm sure you won't want to run that.
I'd change the plugs, check the wires, tire pressure, check the airfilter, get a coolant flush and a tranny flush.
When you check the airfilter, pull the lid and TB off and make sure a mouse hasn't made that their new home before you just fire up your engine.
That's all I can think of for now
