You need to determine what is missing, either fuel or spark.

Yep, I have seen the engine coolant temperature sensor cause this issue and not trigger a trouble code, we should run the codes anyway to see if any are stored which can help us see what's going on.

Here is the location of the sensor in case you want to swap it out. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes
