Spark plugs and or wires could be problematic or the coils are not efficient or the Water Thermosensor is not sending the proper signal to the ECU which affects the amount of fuel injected into the engine or the fuel injectors are clogged or problematic or the exhaust is restrictive/clogged and causing the car to die.
