I think its time to do a tune-up..

Replace spark plugs, (NGK`s are good I do not recommend bosh Spark plugs)
distributor cap and rotor, wires, fuel filter and air filter,
also clean the EGR (if stuck open makes the engine to run rough)

We are going to start from here..

(the tune-up its not that expensive and your engine should run a lot better)
