I recommend that you:
  • Remove the sump plate, inspect the internals from below and clean the sump. Reinstall sump, new oil and filter. I'd use cheap oil and change it after the first 100 miles or so.
  • Pull all the plugs, spray fogging oil in each cylinder.
  • Turn the engine by hand with a wrench on the crank pulley behind the seats. Make sure it turns smoothly - with the plugs out, there is no compression.
  • With the plugs still out, crank the starter. It should crank quickly and blow the remaining fogging oil out the spark plug holes.
  • Inspect plugs and coils. consider replacing the spark plug tubes and o-ring while you are there.
  • Install plugs and coils.
Other thoughts:
  • Is your gasoline 8 years old? pump it out and put fresh gas in. Use a good injector cleaning additive.
  • Have you looked at the vacuum hoses?
  • Spray some MAF cleaner on the MAF.
  • Clean the throttle body.
  • That's a quick list, I'm sure there's plenty more to consider...
Quick prayer.
Start it.
