If you are mechanically inclined, you can fix these things yourself, if you want to. You have a beautiful car.

Intake leaks could be the rubber couplers between the manifold halves. the manifold must be removed to do this. While involved, it's not all that hard. There should be air bypass hoses by the injectors. They may need to be replaced or vacuum leaks fixed. There may be other vacuum leaks. Look at the basics first, plugs, cap rotor, air filter etc.

Have you checked the fuses? they may be bad or corroded. DO you hear the window motors work? The A/C may need a recharge.

A Pre Purchase inspection is always a good thing for an older car. Dont despair, look at one area at a time and not the whole mess. This way you won't be so overwhelmed.

Feedback, we need feedback. PIX would be nice too.
