97 2.2

1997 s-10 2.2, has around 195,000 ks on it, problem started about 2 weeks ago, when the motors cold and i pull out the truck sputters and really struggles through 1st and 2nd gear until the trucks warmed up. 1 day last week it was really bad felt like the truck was running on 3 cylinders and it was like that trough all gears. anyone have any ideas on where i should start looking? haven't had a problem like this before

Is the MIL on? Even if it isn't, there may be a pending misfire code.

Start by verifying the condition of the basic system components, like fuel pressure, spark plugs, wires, coil packs, and air filter.
