My car has not been started for four months. I'm worried that if i get the battery charged and fire it up the engine might seize. Advice before I try to start the car?

first check all your fluid levels. then drain the gas and replace with fresh gas. next disconnect the coil and crank the engine for a few seconds for the engine to be oiled, then reconnect and let her run, cars can sit for 4 years and not seize up when started again.
