Hello,

Ok, is the Engine Light On? If so need to get codes read.

A couple possibilities....

Worn Spark Plugs - when was last tune-up?

Weak Fuel Pump

Bad IAC (Idle Air Control) Motor

Bad TPS (Throttle Position Sensor)

Bad MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) Sensor

If engine light is on getting codes will help narrow down the problem.
