With the age and the car sitting that long it's quite possible the O2 sensor has expired (they are advertised as a maintenance item) but I hate to throw parts at a vehicle unless I know it needs them. Don't get me wrong I like it to run right I just hate to subsidize the parts industry unecessarily. As far as your expectation of power: You can get used to it if you give yourself a chance. You can drive by the gas station instead of into it; you can park in just over 1/2 a normal parking space (very handy at crowded events); typically insurance costs significantly less and you can use the money you would have otherwise spent for far more fun things. I thoroughly enjoy comparing my monthly owning/operating costs to the guys at work who have brand new trucks with $500+ per month payments, and insurance and fuel. Awe inspring power: no, chick magnet: no, super plush; no but I smile all the way to the bank.
