    Misfire? Check your plugs, wires and dizzy.

    My guess is plugs, how long they been in there? What color are they? Or is there even a plug left lol?

    Distributor. change your cap & rotor, if that doesn't fix it, change your dizzy.

    any check engine light?

    Change your O2 sensor to start. I've experienced similar symptoms before while having code 1 on the ECU, and changing the O2 sensor and resetting the ECU solved the problems.

    Check the timing. Your timing belt may have jumped a tooth. Not common, but I've had it happen on one of my cars. Didn't backfire but it ran like shit at anything above 2k rpms.
