check the rotor button in the distributor. the screw that holds it in place tends to come loose often. also check your timing belt, and main relay(it should "click" twice when you turn the key on. theres alot of things it could be, but i would check those first....

pull your distributor cap and check your rotor. the screw on that rotor was notorious for creeping out at the worse possible time. if its missing, just get a new rotor and use a little thread locker when you put the screw in.

may have jumped timing if you hear that puff puff noise from the airbox.
