This is a very broad question, but I will say this it is more than likely bad fire (spark) or bad fuel (not enough, too much, poor quality). Spark could be any thing from sparkplug all the way back up to the distributor or timing. Fuel could be water or rust in the fuel, clogged injector/injector's. probably NOT fuel pump or filter.

This could be caused by various issues such as a clogged fuel filter, a faulty spark plug, a vacuum leak, or a problem with the ignition system. It is best to have your car inspected by a professional mechanic to diagnose and fix the problem.
