Not enough info.....
So it was running great and all of a sudden this happened?
Have you done anything to it recently?
CIS i assume?
Got a pop off valve in the air box? Did it get dislodged?

Pete is most likely correct a loose pop off valve will cause the problem you're having. There could be many other things also.

could be:
bad control pressures
bad WUR
no power to the WUR
clogged WUR screen/return
bad thermo time valve(TTV) making it rich
air leak
pop off valve as mentioned
cracked air box if no pop off valve
timing
advance not working
fuel
fuel filter
bad fuel
igntion
plugs, cap, rotor

you are really asking for a lot and giving us very little to do it with.
