You could try in the vehicle forums, this is where you come to say hello.

Much better you start with the basics like fresh fuel, new spark plugs, leads, distributer cap, rotor arm and a coil, clean the idle control valve on the back of the plenum and put a new air filter in there and see what happens.

Fresh fuel is where i'd start, modern fuel turns to Turps in a matter of months..

Sparks plugs

HT leads
Dizzy cap and rotor
IACV
MAF

Give them all a service and clean..

can't expect a acr that has stood for 3 years to run perfectly

I wonder if the OP is familiar with these acronyms, and the items and their functions TBH.
It almost sounded like "I buy car, come fix, quick!" to me there.
