Do a full 60K tune up, replacing all the fluids (including brake, clutch, tranny, engine oil, coolant, and rear end lube), spark plugs and cables, all filters (including fuel, oil and air), belts, any hoses that are leaking or bulging, and the O2 sensor. In addition if the car is more than 10 years old or has more than 120K miles on it, the Pulsation Dampener should be also replaced.
for the motor get the plugs out squirt some mmo or do the famous atf treatment.
do a search for atf your wil find what you need to know

i thought that the apex seals (stock) kinda got...dried/cracked or something if it sat for a while, anything to use on those, or does the atf do good for those also, what i am seeing is that the ATF trick is for carbon removal/help when flooded
