Well its probably going to need ALOT of work, fuel parts probably means
it needs a new fuel pump, fuel tank removed and cleaned out, maybe a
fuel distributor. Rust is a major problem on those cars. In the end,
if you sort it out you will probably have a $900 car when you are done.

Fuel pump is shot, or the air flow meter flap is stuck, it has no fuel
delivery (could just be a fuel pump relay, too). Might be a big vac
leak as well (torn boot between airflow meter and throttle body)
At least it's not blowing huge black smoke clouds, that means a new
fuel distributor!
