Could just be a clogged fuel filter,or weak fuel pump,and if you have not serviced it,meaning new plug,s and wire,s ,,may be time to do so.

It's the ignition switch. The plastic gets worn down over time. Not hard to switch out yourself. I did mine about 2 years ago, and it's already starting to act up again. Original Equipment (OE) Number: DG9Z11572A http://a.co/iRNWF0z
