You might have water in the fuel plus the fuel is 2 years old. Drain the fuel tank and put in fresh gas, old gas doesn't burn well. Change the fuel filter. Take the spark plugs out and clean them up, use a proper spark plug wire remover, trust me on this. Check the wires for any cracks. Check the air intake for blockages. I would change the oil and filter, at the very least it will make it look like you took care of the car to anyone looking to buy it.
