94 Corvette runs bad
Just purchased this car. On the highway it runs pretty smooth until you step into it. Then it starts stumbling. At idle, low speeds and at stop signs it runs. Badly. Stumbles, rpm up and down, smell of gas out of tailpipe, missing. I learn toward optispark, iac, bad injector. 164,000 miles on car. Your thoughts?

Was the car running poorly when you bought it? Did you have it inspected by a competent mechanic? Or was it just too good of a deal to pass up?
The first thing would be a good tune up, including a compression test and a fuel pressure test. Don't just throw money (new parts) at the car without knowing what the problems are.
