    Is it happening all over the place, eg: both when cold & warm?
    Could be a vacuum leak ? check all the hoses coming from the carb for any cracks or damage.
    Have you changed or done anything to it recently?

    if its efi, in the fuse box, the relay that has somethin to do with fuel pump. wiggle the wires goin in. took me forever to figure this one out! prob not why yours wont start but i thought id give my 2 cents.

    Could be a stripped cam gear or distributor gear. Pull the cap off the distributor and check to see if the rotor button turns when you wind the motor over.
