Default Major starting problem

I have a '94 stang with about 180k miles on it.. Amongst many other problems it has just recently aquired a new one. When I turn the key, the engine will turn but it will not fire. I have checked my fuel pump and spark plugs, they seem to be working fine. I opened my air intake, and while the engine is turning, every now and then some air will fire OUT of my air intake.. I can get the car to fire, but it will just kind of stutter for about 3 seconds and violently shake. Like I said, I have just recently aquired this problem about 2 weeks ago.. Any suggestions?

Nope, it hasn't been started in about a week.. I think there is a problem with my fuel injection, but the air coming OUT of my air intake was quite alarming to me.. Can you recommend perhaps some sort of diagnostic tool i can use to figure out exactly what is causing this?

my car does this all the time. wiggle ur distributor caps on your spark plugs and make sure they're tight.. then try again.
