Default Need help, engine problems...

Hey guys,
Today i drove my 91' LS around for awhile it was running great, then i just went out and started it up, start driving, and its missing alot, has a big lack of power, and is just running crappy all around. If anyone has any idea what it could be please lemme know. Thanks!

just out of nowhere it's running like crap?
check your whole ignition system
maybe you have a blown head gasket,how many miles are on your car?

check your radiator overflow tank(make sure its the right level and there is only coolant/water in there.also check your oil level and don't forget to do your timing belt/water pump soon.
