Have you scanned it for codes? Is the ignition timing set correctly? You may need to pull the timing cover off and check to see if the timing belt/chain has slipped.

Another thing to check would be compression.

Hello RICHTERJUSTIN08,

If you decide you would like to conduct the scan yourself here is a link to an article that features written step by step instructions and pictures explaining how to do the scan yourself, also I have included a link to our YouTube channel with a how to video on code scanning. Most scanners are inexpensive to purchase, you can purchase one online from sites like Amazon.com

Thank you for visiting 2CarPros.com.

All the best,
