Check the throttle cable, make sure it's not kinked or loose at the throttle body or at the peddle.

Not sure how current maintenance stuff is so: check for codes,wires & plugs, compression test, check for spark- coil pack ect. Check back and keep us up to date.

Step 1, get a truck. Step 2, get some cash, Step 3, drive said truck to Holland's in Billerica, Step 4, buy the sho motor there in the back left hand corner of the yard. Tranny is already off it.
