Default car is going to sit for a while....what to do.

My car might be out of commision for a while....what should i do to the engine?
I heard removing the spark plugs and spraying wd-40 in the combustion chamber and then have a full tank of gas or empty

Not so shure though.
I know a car cover will be on for shure but im not shure about the engine.
I want t come back and have that fawker start right up

FUel stabalizer. Most important thing you can do. Bad gas sucks. If its sitting a real time put it up on blocks so the tires don't get messed up, and as far as wd40, I don't know so much about that, it will just run down the rings like regular oil. Start it up once in a while, or have some one else do it. Oh yea, disconect your battery, or it will be dead when you get back.
