Hello,

If you have not done recently do a tune of the engine.
Most cases that takes care of may drivability issues.
Simply change the plugs and air filter and few basic items you can restore a vehicles performance.

See this helpful article on tune up:

Also is the check engine light illuminated. If so get the vehicle scanned for codes.
Which can narrow down the problem.
