everything that has to do with spark, replace if it has been a while... I dont know how the ignition works on whatever car you have but for me it would be - wires, plugs, cap, rotor, coil if I am feeling rich -
then if that doesnt work look for air flow.. maybe the filter is dirty, bad o2 sensor, clogged cat....

If the ignition stuff is new look at the o2 sensor. How long has it been sense it has been replaced? You could hook up a voltometer to check it. The voltage should jump around alot, like .28, .88, .34, .53, .91, etc.....
