    without proper diagnosis it could be anything from ignition to fuel pump. Best to invest in having it diagnosed at a dealership or by a professional mechanic.

    it could be fuel pump, replace that first then replace distibuter cap and make sure allcylinders have power, if not then it is the fuel filter and that is located in the tank, and its not fun...
