sticky valves 850 1997

I just had to have my wrench hook my 97 850 (91k)up to a jump box to get it to turn over. Apparently, because it sat idle in my driveway for two weeks, the carbon deposits gummed up a couple of valves, and the lifters lost their oil presure from not being driven. Has anyone else had this problem in any model/year? I've let it sit before a few weeks at a time and never had this problem.

Also, my trunk lock just had to be replaced. It stopped locking. $280 so no one can steal my spare...oh well!

    Can't say that has happened yet to me but several folks on this board have spoken highly of a gasoline additive product that really works on cleaning up the inside of your engine. It is called "BG 44K". Add it before a fill-up and watch the results. Someone else also said that it works so well that you might want to do it just before your next oil change because it will turn your motor oil to BLACK. Here is where I just bought my first can:
