Don't know if you can do this yourself or not, but you have a bad coil pack on one of your cylinders.

If you can determine which one it is by using an OBD reader, just swap it out for a new one.

Coil packs run about $90.

You didn't say if you have a 4 cyl. or 6 cyl. engine. makes a difference in getting at the spark plug and coil pack.

I had my mechanic change one about 5 months ago, another one went about 2 months after the first one. So far the other 4 original ones are still okay.

The older the vehicle gets the more likely these coil packs will go and they can go at any time.
