hmm, thats no good. its kindof hard for me to help over forums because soo many possible things could be wrong. the only thing i am thinking would be to check your parts, it could be compression loss. try replacing head gaskets, and liners or rings

a bad ignition module can do it as well... take it to autozone and have them test it 10-15 times to make sure it's not a heat related failure.
