Maybe remove the spark plugs and give each cylinder a squirt or two of motor oil and put some fresh gasoline and fuel system cleaner in the tank. I would also change the engine oil, oil filter. In addition make a thorough inspection of engine compartment wiring and hoses. Check the air filter for mouse nests. Inflate the tires with proper pressure, check all fluid levels and charge or replace the battery.
