Welcome to the forum. Are there any other symptoms? (sounds, smells, ect.)?
It could be a blocked catalytic converter, exhaust manifold leak, clogged fuel line, many many different things. Are there any symptoms and/or engine codes? (is your check engine light on)

I'd start with a tune up, plugs, wires, fuel filter, bottle of injector cleaner in the tank.:2cents:

one thing would be to change the air filter. Most dont change it often enough.
If you hav the stock air box, change it when you change the oil for best results :)
Its cheap for those filters, and you'll save $$$ on gas too.
