Truth of the matter is if the car has been sitting for 7 years it's going to need a lot of work. I would suggest pulling the injectors, sending them out to be cleaned and flow tested. I would then pull all the filters (that includes the fuel and oil--unless you recently did them). Replace plugs, test coils as per FSM (Factory Service Manual) instruction, and test plug wires to ensure they're still good. Additionally I would double check fuel pressure and inspect the Fuel Pressure Damper (FPD).

I would also look at getting compression numbers from the rotors so you know what you have.
