First off get as much of the old gas out of your tank because you'll want to start it on fresh gas. I would pull the coils and spark plugs and then squirt a little oil in each cylinder. With the plugs out turn the engine over a few times. Put the plugs back in and start the car and let it idle. If it runs rough or idles rough you might need to clean the throttle body and maf sensor. Hope this helps.
