Sounds like your timing is off, does it have a distributor? Try moving it around next time you try to start it. If it runs off a crank/cam position sensor, perhaps the wire is loose or incorrectly connected.

First, which is it, distributor?

If so, It sounds like you adjusted it the wrong way, try compensating in the other direction. If its limited in the direction it can move, it sounds like the timing belt/chain jumped or slipped. You might want to check your timing/cam marks.
