I would have thought fuel system except you said it runs on, a sure sign that the ignition is too far advanced. You losten the bolt that holds down the distributor and turn it ever so slightly. If you hook a timing light up you can properly time the ignition. Should not cost much to go to a mechanic and have them check the timing and adjust it.

I would simply go through and clean or replace anything involving your fuel system, like replacing the plugs, the wires and the fuel filter. Also, run a tank of fresh gas through your car, with a bottle or two of HEET in the tank. This will clean out the crap in the line, plus scavenge any moisture that may be resting in there.

Is it a diesel, or a gas engine??
If its gas (most likely) your mixture is too lean. If it is fuel injection, replace your 02 (oxygen) sensor, it can create scenarios like this.

The fuel filter is clogged and you have bad gas
