Check engine not on light ? Usually comes on when engine has a miss fire.

It might be the coil pack for the firing mechanism you can find it close to your distributor cap
Check engine light is on I'm starting to think it is the ecm I forgot to mention I put a ignition coil on it but i put JE pistons in my truck didn't even change the compression ratio so I know it isn't a compression problem

Auto parts store like advanced auto or auto zone will read the code for you at no charge.
it could be the cam shaft sensor, or you could be loosing compression from a vacuum leak.
