pop a battery in it and start it up it should start it might run weird but thats because a computer slowly loses it settings so driving it would make it run much better most computers that have lost their memory usually re-adjust above 40mph after a couple minutes

Agreed, pop a battery in, crank it over and get the juices flowing... I'm no expert, but when you get a chance, switch the fluids out (oil and coolant especially), switch the plugs, rock and roll!

yeah also good advice do a good tune-up on it since any sediment in the fluids will float to the bottom and everything will naturally sludge up so do a good tune-up, plugs and pull your cap and rotor check for cobwebs clean you throttle body check for mice in airbox clean air filter, oil, coolant, diff fluids grease in tie rods and such...dry gas in the tank
