If nothing else was done since then, most likely a thorough tune-up will make it purr again. Use only quality parts, such as NGK wires and plugs, replace cap and rotor, replace the fuel filter, PCV valve and related parts as needed. Oil leaking into the distributor can also cause problems.
what to replace if oil is leaking into the ditributor
A distributor should last longer than 50K, but lack of proper oil changes will speed up wear on anything related. First verify IF there is oil that could be shorting out the distributor. It will alsmot always leak out-- easy to see. If so, then it will depend on the design, but usually requires a new or rebuilt distributor. If left as is, the poor running will cause other problems, including engine damage. Until that point: high emissions, poor MPG, loss of power and decreased safety are key examples. Sounds like you need to find a shop right away-- word to the wise-- it's money well spent.
