Drain all the old fluids out and put new fluids in, check belts for cracking, check vacuum hoses for cracks, check out your intake box for spider webs... put 2-5 drops of oil in cylinder.

may want to also pull ignition or fuelinjection fuse and let it crank a few times and circulate oil throughout under low load. not neccessary though.
