my car has been sitting for a little bit less than a year in my garage

and i didnt put it away properly since it stopped running and decided to start my project up again, would i need to put something to help it make compression ? it ran perfectly before it stopped and its nothing related to the motor itself. so should i put a little bit of oil in the spark plug hole or ?

I'd drain the fuel tank too before trying to start it. It's definitely been sitting long enough for the fuel to have started to turn to varnish.
