General tune up is likely all you need. The O2 sensor is good for about 60,000 Km's.

You likely need new:
Plugs
wires
Distrubuter cap and rotor
Throttle body cleaning
Inspect all hoses and vac lines for cracks

A tank of gas should get you over 400 km's. Your car is way out of tune.

Watch some of that Accel stuff. I've had problems in the past and so have others here. Might be your problem.

Take off the TB. Remove the sensors and clean out the TB with TB cleaner. Any automotive place should have it. Comes in an aresol can.

O2 sensor and check timing is all that is needed for a full tune up. Everything else is beyond a tune up but we might have to go there.
