Undo the airbox and spray some brake cleaner into the inlet whilst someone is turning it over

fuel filter....
is the fuel pump ok

fit new plugs (cheap as chips)
basically give it a damn good service
If the engine had seized though, it wont just fix itself

Carb cleaner would probably do the same job.

Are you sure its not the headgasket, sounds like the bores could be filling with water if it was 'seized' and now magically turns.
