Hesitation under acceleration

Hi folks. Looking at buying an 82 900 from a friend who doesn't want it any more. 290,000 kms had tranny replaced 5mos ago, good body & general condition. He was having some trouble starting it in cold weather, and running it until it warmed up. Not too worried about that, but he took it off the road because he was having power problems. Said it was like it was taking in air instead of gas (he's not a car guy), and that it would suddenly stop accelerating and then pick up again 1 or 2 seconds later. I'm not too familiar with 900's (although my Dad has a 93 9000 Aero), but I'm thinking it's a fuel supply problem, or possibly an Air Mass controller or Oxygen sensor. Anyway, I'm a student on a budget, I've got quite a bit of mechanical experience (installed clutch, transmission, shocks on last car &c. &c.). He's offering to sell it to me for 200 Cdn. If I can get it running for less than 500Cdn I'm going to give it a go, but I need to get an idea of what I'm getting into. Any thoughts guys?
