Should always start with a compression test to elimate the internals of the short block being bad. Do that and let us know the results.

Has the car had a tune up/basic service in a while? Stuff falling off is either loose or rust maybe, look under there and see what's up.

Sounds like the car is in pretty poor shape, and likely just needs a tuneup. Full tuneup procedures are covered in the Factory Service Manual, which is available for download in the FAQ.

Also, driving style has a HUGE part in mileage.
