I would give it a tune up. Plugs / Wires / Cap / Rotor. Then change the fuel filter / Air Cleaner and any PCV valves. I do this to any used car I buy first. I also do the betls and hoses but that is just my preferance. I usually drop a couple hundred on it right off the bat and then not have to worry about maintenance for a while.

If you think you have a vacume leak you can spray brake cleaner and you will hear the engine surge when you spray the problem area.
