I'm thinking English is not your first language.

What year?
Last time you changed plugs and coils?
Make and Model and Mileage?
Any modifications?

Sounds a lot like low compression. Get a compression test done.

OP, if your coils, plugs, and wires have more than 20K miles on them, start there. They often do not last much longer than that.

Welcome, and yeah, what wcs said. We can help, and will try, but need data.

How much gas was in the tank is a good one to know too.
