The good.... I recent acquired a 95 mtx with 189K miles.  I has no leaks, has 
been 100% dealer serviced its entire life by the
original owner.  Interior in like factory new too, even the driver's seat.  The 
car apparently has had a CE light for a while, so
the previous owner just parked it rather than sort out the problem.  Overall 
the car is in factory new condition.  The front license
plate holder is still in the trunk wrapped in a plastic bag.

The bad.... 
1) The heater/defroster blows only cold air.  My guess is a bad blend door 
motor.  Isn't that the most likely fault?

2) CE light - The engine has NO power.  Idles ok, but as soon as you touch the 
throttle, it lays down. Just acts like it's
completely choked on a way too rich mixture.  On the highway, once you finally 
get up to speed, it goes, but has no throttle
response. CE light comes and goes at random intervals throughout the range of 
speeds, idling, low loads, high loads.  I have a pile
of known good spare parts, but would like some advice before I start blindly 
throwing parts at it.  Please help!  TIA!
