you didn't use a single period in your entire post, yet you managed to insert a lone comma.

could you please edit your post and make it a little easier to understand what you're trying to ask??????

Don't floor/ boost the car with old fuel.

Changing the plugs, siphoning out the old fuel and putting in a few gallons of fresh fuel should help if that's whats wrong with the car.

Have you gotten a compression test done? Don't commit to buying it until you've done at least that.

Since you know nothing about these cars how do you know it's running "a little hot" IIRC the PFC also reads speed, Does it read correctly and the speedo does not or do they both read the same thing ? If they both read the same I'd suspect the speed sensor in the tranny.
