Does the cars power turn off, does the engine bog down then die, or does the engine just instantly cut off?

it could be a power problema spark, fuel, or air problem,or something else i dont know of but more information would help alot.

I had something similar and I replaced my distributor cap. My car would turn off at low rpms in 1st gear and begin to "bog" down at times at higher gears.
