Sounds like it's misfiring. Start out checking the plugs, wires, dist cap and rotor. Change them if they have not been changed recently.

If the tune up doesn't fix it I have seen the head gasket blown between two cylinders cause this problem, also I would remove the valve covers and crank the engine over without starting it to see if the rockers are all working correctly, because a flat camshaft can cause this as well. Please go over this guide to see what I am talking about.
