Sounds like the O2 sensors, go get a code reader and check the codes. It could just be in drastic need of a tune-up, and timing chain and gears. What is the mileage you are getting now? How many miles on the motor? Is the timing set right? There are so many things to check. It could just be bad spark plugs.
