What year and model?
It could be a number of things, such as air/fuel filter. If one relay was bad, others could be as well. There isn't an ignition system, so you just have to troubleshoot air and fuel. We need more info.

Does it smoke or idle funny? It's old enough That I would start suspecting sensors. CPS being a primary suspect. It could be loose or failing just enough to cause problems.
