Same basic maintenance items that you would for anything. Plugs, oil, filters (oil and gas), empty the fuel tank and put fresh gas in it. See if you wires and cap/rotor look like they need replacing. Get something to clean out the gunk in the fuel lines (Seafoam, RunRite, etc.).

Once its started, you need to check every last piece of rubber on the car, tires, suspension components, because they've probably started to go.

have injectors cleaned or replaced. Along with dealing with the fuel system and any rubber as mentioned above.
