Well, don't buy a Mustang that's for sure. If it's a 94 then it's still OBD1 - make sure the CEL isn't blown (it should light up when you turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine).
If it doesn't show up, get to autozone or whatever and they can hook the diag tool to it for free and tell you if there are any codes. If it does show up then you're probably not throwing any codes. That can be a good or bad thing.
How long has it been since you've done a routine tune-up on the car? Plugs, wires(coil packs), rotor, cap, fuel filter.
The symptons still sound like a sensor to me, or is possible there's a vacuum line that has come off which can throw off the fuel but that usually leads to surging and not (almost) stalling.
