Mechanical timing, valve adjustment, vacuum leak, under fuel injection, over fuel injection, ignition timing, compression too low, rag stuck in intake or trottlebody, something not plugged in, something plugged into the wrong socket x2, should I continue, which car year do you have and what do you have to test with besides your eyes and nose please.

your ignitor is right next to the coil inside the dizzy cap and try a coil first it is a simple easy fix
