I recently had the same problem. Your ignitor box is probably bad. Mine was. Check Ebay.....make sure you spell it with or AND er and get the one on bid. They are not cheap. Around $200. I got one for $16.50. I changed it and now it runs great! Also check your oil for metal. Sometimes people don't change the oil for long periods of time or just use the wrong oil and the lifters are clogged.
