Replace ALL in-line filters (like fuel) and check ALL rubber hoses for dry-rot or cracking (like brake lines, radiator, power steering) - the car is 12 yrs old now and has been sitting idle.
Good Luck!

What he said for sure, and vacuum leaks are a potential and annoying to source out and fix.

I'd say first priority would be to check all things rubber or plastic and change all fluids and check for sediment.
