Its always tough to diagnose a problem without getting our hands all
over it but here is some suggestions.
1. Check the timing
2. Uh, the timing is off
3. Hmm, timing needs to be set
long shots
1. firing order is wrong
2. cap & rotor needs to be replaced
3. Timing chain/belt is off a tooth
4. vacuum leak
