2001 Acura EL

Engine Performance problem
2001 Acura EL 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 220000 miles

I noticed that when I started to drive to work in the morning, there is no problem. On my way home, the beginning of my driving, the engine seems like its going to die then it will go back up again.

What could be the problem?
