Hello and welcome to 2carpros! There are a lot of things that could cause this, so I'm going to start by asking you if the service engine light is on. If so, please take the car to the nearest auto parts store and have them scan the car for trouble codes. Get the actual code numbers (not just their descriptions) and please post them here. Then we can direct you a little better.

If there is no service engine light on, then we can get into basic old school diagnostics and see what we find. You might have a clogged fuel or air filter, a broken vacuum line, or something else along those lines that may not necessarily trigger a service engine light to come on.

Please let us know and we'll go from there.
