if it is not firing on any cylinder than you may want to check your rotor and condenser in your distributor, but if it is firing it could be off in timing, so you may need to check using a timing light you can usually find very cheap timing lights on ebay if thats your case https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1? icep_id=114&ipn=icep&toolid=20004&campid=5338344650&mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fww w.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FXenon-Inductive-Timing-Light-Engine-Motor-Automotive-Car- Truck-Tune-Up-Gun-Tool%2F263707477105%3Fhash%3Ditem3d6630c471
