PLEASE HELP! (and sorta fast)

[Wonderboy893]

Moderators: I also posted this in a section more related to my car .. I just wanted to put it where traffic would view it, since I need an answer fast!

I have a 1986 Chervolet Sprint. I know that this sounds really old and crappy, but it's a good little car, with only 38,000 miles on!!!

A problem started a while back, when the person who gave it to me, said that he had felt it sorta skip, but he put new plugs in it, and (once he reconnected the coil wire) he hasn't felt a skip since.

Well, About a week ago, the car started skipping on me again. I would be driving down the road and all of a sudden it would be like the car lost power for just a moment, then it would just kick right back in.

Yesterday, as I was driving it, it did it again, but this time as I did it, it started back firing.

And then today, It skipped on me, and cut off .. it took a little bit to start back too .. for a little bit, I thought I was going to flood the engine.

I'm supposed to be going out of town tomorrow, and I really need to get this quickly fixed. Any help you could offer would be appreciated.
