change oil , oil and air fiters, drive about 20 miles on eway and see if that does it . normally it does unless something else is wrong. get it tested as soon as off eway if you can

Ok, have you checked your other components such as spark plugs, egr, air filter, and etc. Have you tried running any fuel system cleaners? You can still have the car scanned for history codes to see if there anything there.
