how much gas do you have in the tank?  
i would prolly change the oil on the car aswell, also priming the turbo before starting is a good idea. change the oil, prime the turbo and see if it starts if not syphon the old gas.

Syphon the old gas best you can before you try to start it. And put some nice fresh 94 in there. mmmmmmmm and change the oil too.
