Is the CEL ON?

1) Check the ignition timing and whether the timing belt has skipped a tooth.

2) When was the fuel filter replaced?

Is the check engine light coming on?

Basic tune-up stuff should be done if you don't know how old those parts are. Roughly in this order: fuel filter, spark plugs, spark wires, air filter, cap and rotor.
