Could be caused by one of the following below

Oxygen sensor.
Catalytic converter.
Fuel injectors dirty/sticking.
Mass airflow sensor/Airflow meter.

EGR Valve
Fuel pressure regulator leaking or defective fuel pump.

Foul/defective spark plugs.
Open spark plug wires.
Ignition coil/Coil packs defective.
