Almost impossible to help unless you can provide the fault codes.

How should we know? Why not just ask him if he has any kids?

+1 on that. You can buy an inexpensive OBDII scanner to give you basic codes. Some auto supply places will scan the car for you for free. But get a list of the codes and post them here.

That sounds like the classic intake manifold problem. You can replace some of the parts, but the whole manifold should be replace if you intend to drive it for a few years. But that's just a guess without the actual code and a vague description. The Pierburg mainfold was OEM and a little over $500 for the part.
