Dave's advice is not only perfect for this particular problem, but is =
excellent for 95% of the engine-related(starting/running) questions I =
see on the list.
He should save a copy and automatically email it to every post that =
contains the words "help" or "problem" in the subject line.

Could be anything. Could be throttle switches, could be computer
connections (water?), could be running too rich, too lean, could be a =
bad
coil, pick-up, a short somewhere in the ignition system or fuel =
system, etc.
etc. Could even be the winter fuel! What you need to do is to check =
things
out and reduce it down to something more specific. Check spark, =
timing,
fuel pressure, DPR reading, etc. until you find the problem. Once you =
get
more familiar with your car you will be able to pinpoint the problems =
you
have with it quicker. If you plan on working on your own car make =
sure you
have a Bentley and maybe a Haynes to go along with it. You don't need =
a gob
of tools but there are a few specific one's you will need like a fuel
pressure gauge, compression tester, timing light, good multimeter, DPR =
test
harness, etc. LMK if you need other help and/or what successes you =
have!
