car has been running even idling rough, almost like it's gone die if I'm at a stop. we had a tune up a cpl wks ago n the light comes on n will go off again but sputtering n hesitation still there. wen I push on gas to go it barely gets going kinda jerking along, it will b okay sometimes. also it's started to really have a loss in power, like there isn't any oomph in it. will hesitate even while on frwy n try to speed up. I don't know wat to do now.please help.

Sounds like a plugged catalytic converter. Have it scanned for codes, both soft and hard and let us know what comes up.
