Mind you, could also be that one of your cylinders' spark plugs isn't firing. Check that you have a spark at each plug: one-by-one pull the lead off the plug and hold near the plug. You should see/hear a sprk jump accross the gap). If you experience a zap yourself in the process, your leads are too dirty and are earthing out against the engine block (or your fingers) via the filth (painfull way to discover that -moral of the story: keep your engine bay clean!)
