Engine light and poor idle

Hi, firstly apologies if this is in the wrong section!!! 

 

I need some help, long story short but I've recently acquired a 350z that has been sat for a long time (approx 12 months). It's off to Horsham Dev in a week for a complete service and overhaul but I had to move it from its previous storage location. Only about 500 metres or so but I decided to fire it up. I checked the oil first which seemed quite lightly coloured still and was plenty in there, also put some fuel in and a new battery. To my surprise it started up no problems at all, little bit of smoke and then it was fine. Ticked over nicely, sounded good and for the very short move it seemed spot on. So I was very happy.

 

The next day I thought I'd fire it up again as to be honest thought it would do it some good, but unfortunately this time around the engine light came on and it's idle is all over the place, goes high, then low, nearly stalls. Just all over the place. I turned it off, left it for a bit and then tried again but still the same. I've left in since then but I was just wondering if anyone knows what might be causing this. Should I be worried?? I'm already spending a lot at Horsham so could do without an even bigger bill lol

 

Any insight in this would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Rob
