Hi sparks,

It sounds like you either have a fuel delivery problem or timing issue.  This could be a variety of items such as fuel pump failure, fuel filter clogged, regulator valve clogged, or injector failure/clog.  You could also have a vacuum leak, sensor failure, or timing belt missing a tooth.

Good luck!
