If could be anything from a blown engine, to a sensor going bad, to a coil not making good connection.

BTW - How old if your fuel filter?

Get a cheap dial compression tester, put it into a plug on each rotor, and crank the motor. You'll probably see 0psi on the rear rotor if it's toast. That's how I tested my old Fc at 135,000 when it died...
