Do not listen to this person.

IACV is a stong possibility as previously mentioned. Dirty cap, plugs, wires, fuel filter, all simple things to check first. More serious possibilities, fuel relay switch(probably not though), blown headgasket, crappy compression, clogged injectors. Some ideas anyhow.

Do a compression check if you can, rule that one out first.
