Many things can cause this. Start simple by checking for vacuum leaks. Also, if the vehicle hasn't been tuned up for a long time, plug wires and plugs could be the cause. If it seems to have an affect on the shifting, check the throttle position sensor (TPS).

Let me know if it helps. Also, check for vacuum leaks. It could be something that simple.
