It could be timing or a bad distributor cap. There are other possibilities as well but those are the two best candidates. Check the Spark plug wires. I had the same problem and it was due to corroded rubber insulation on my wires. resulting in electricity arcing over to the engine! this was not good, but a change of the wires was all it took to fix it!
