85 GS/Low power in 1st and 2nd gear

I’m currently attempting to become a first time owner of an RX-7. I’ve wanted one for a while and I’m finally doing it! I drove one this weekend that is everything I want but it has one problem I need help with. It seems to have very low power in 1st and 2nd gears. I would almost say that it sputters. 3rd and up seem to be fine. Does anyone know what this may be? It’s a great price and a great car otherwise and I’d love to get it.

Mine did the same thing driving it home when I first got it. Put in plugs, wires, cap, & rotor, ran like a champ!
