Well shit....

I'm thinking you have an ignition problem then. Likely a bad coil pack/distributor or your timing is screwed.

Do you know how expensive that might be if its the timing? or a bad coil pack?

My suggestion is to go to autozone and get a code reading. (free) They'll tell you what the code means and what parts are likely to be bad, and how much those parts cost.

I would get the compression checked before you spend too much money on all the little things. Also a leak down test might be in order. Good luck either way.
