Seems is if it could either be a clogged catalytic converter, low fuel pressure, or maybe a bad mass airflow sensor. Does it like to turn over a lot while starting before it finally starts up?

Has the check engine light come on? Have you checked fuel pump pressure? Have you checked for excessive back pressure as a result of a plugged catalytic converter? Have you checked for engine vacuum leaks?
