Squirt an ounce or 2 of motor oil in each cylinder is what I think BYproduct means? Hopefully that tarp was a decent one and secured so it kept the immobilizer which is located under the driver's seat dry. Leaves can get in the two drains in the convertible top clamshell and the two in the front cowl. When those drains get clogged water gets into the interior and the immobilizer can get flooded. See if the carpet behind the seats is dry, that will be a good sign. The metal brake lines can be inspected and might be ok. After the engine is running I would see how the brakes work - can the wheels turn and can the brakes be applied and hold the wheel from turning. Then look at the condition of the flexible rubber brake lines, maybe replace those and flush the brake fluid and bleed the system if the master cylinder and calipers don't need any maintenance first.

Lots of great people on this board and lots of helpful information. Good luck, keep us posted and post some pictures.
