I wouldn't even attempt to start it. Tow it to your garage so that you can drop the fuel tank and clean all of the sludge out, replace the filter, and clean the injectors. Before you start it, flush the oil and replace the filter. Same goes with the antifreeze. Replace the belts before they snap and check the rollers, PS, AC, alternator making sure they turn easily.

If your concern is that the engine is toast (probably not), pour a table spoon of marvel mystery oil in each spark plug hole, then turn the engine by hand (plugs out).
