Need help; is this just a symptom of low compression or????

My car, that is sold this weekend, has blown coolant seals.
It overheats if you drive it three miles.
Today I drove it a while and the temp gauge was fine.
I drove it some more it was fine.
I hadn't done anything different.
Problem is...
I can't accelerate at all.
It stutters and backfires A LOT.
I messed with the tps and idle screw to try and make it drivable.
Haven't been able to figure out a way to make it where it will accelerate.
So, fc guys, is it just because I have no compression on the rear and 56 on the front?

so the engine is running on 1 rotor... that also has really bad compression? if so, then you already answered your question.

Definitely gone. If it has no power and you have a blown coolant seal, you have a heap of recyclable metal on your hands
