This is common when the ignition distributor goes out, remove the distributor cap to see if there is rust colored dust inside this is a sure sign the unit is bad, you can get a rebuilt dist from amazon, here is how to install it, this problem is very common with these cars. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
