It could be weak sparks, low fuel pressure or a bad Engine Coolant Temperature sensor.
If the Check Engine Light is indicating, get a free scan done at Autozone and post the codes here.
If no codes are present, get the fuel pressure tested.

Try disconnecting the battery negative terminals and reconnecting after 30 minutes to see if it works.
