First thing is to scan for possible stored fault codes (whether or not the check engine light is on) as that might help the troubleshooting.

- Ignition System fault
- Fuel Mixture fault

Too little to go on at this point without further testing.

Gas engine (which one), Diesel engine, standard or automatic?
