Try your basic ignition parts... Spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor. Also i would drain the old gas out of the tank and put new gas in. Also throw in a fuel injector cleaner in the tank too. If that dosent work, new fuel injectors. Be sure to check how old the fuel pump is. If its about 10 years or older, change it.... It could be 100 different things. Just start with that stuff

If you replaced the coil, it could be something electrical
