Maybe check the battery? I have no clue what else. It should be alright though. A little over 3 months without driving isn't too long.

i let mine sit since november....with random start ups.
i checked all my fluids,and went the route of changing oil/filter,and plugs......it was running pretty crappy before then.
if your oil smells gassy,and is pitck black i'd do the same as i did,just to be safe.
