It sounds like the engine is misfiring, but I can tell for sure if you upload a short video of the engine cranking, and then running. In the meantime, please run the codes.

Also, with this many miles we should do a compression test which you can rent the gauge from the auto parts store for cheap.

Take note of what the spark plugs look like compared to each other. This can be a clue to the problem cylinder.

Please go over these guides and report back.

I ended up finding out #5 was misfiring without a code thrown until I turned on the A/C one of my new coil packs was intermittently failing.
