What To Look For When Checking Out A 2g?

[john]

My friend is looking at a 96 gs-t with 130k. I plan on checking the t-belt, compression, and shaft play. Probly going with him on monday to check it over. We test drove it yesterday. Upon initial startup, it killed. Then it started fine. I noticed the line from the breather to the intake wasn't connected. Could that have been why it killed? What else should I check?
