you may jus need something simple such asan oil change or spark plugs or filters/intake check into those and if it still occurs jus tell us and someone else may be able to further assist you....

Fuel filter. BTW, an oil change really won't help running problems anyway.

even though im sure the oil isnt your problem, if you changed it a few months ago it needs to be changed again very soon
