The one I just got running had been sitting since August of 2011 (almost 3 years) without being touched. After replacing the battery and a myriad of other non-sedimentary related issues i.e.: valve spring, etc. mine started and ran fine. I did replace the oil and spark plugs but only because I was in there working already and did have one failed coil pack - possibly related to sitting? I was worried about flat spots on the tires, but didn't notice any.
Also worth noting, I did take apart the idle air valve assembly and clean it out. The mechanism was gummed up and not working - something I had read about in another thread regarding rough idle.
