Pull the plugs and see if they're fouled out. If they are get some new ones. If that isn't it, spray in some carb cleaner through the vaccum hose in the intake manifold and pulse it instead of a steady stream and see if you can get it running that way. Sounds like a fuel delivery problem to me, kinda what my car does when I let it sit for a couple weeks.
