is the check engine light on? if it is then have the computer scanned for codes and get back to us. autozone will scan it for free. the first thing that comes to mind is a intake manifold vacuum leak causing a lean misfire but have it scanned first.

i would look for a vacuum leak by spraying carb cleaner at lower intake manifold and see if idle changes.
