First I would make sure that you have enough gas. I know this would be obvious, but you never know. If that doesn't help, then the following could be your problem:
1. Loose or faulty electrical connection at the coil pack or alternator
2. Insufficient fuel reaching the fuel injectors - could be a fuel injection problem.
3. Check your spark plugs and wires.
4. Vacuum leak at the gasket betwen the intake manifold and throttle body.
