Have you checked for vacuum leaks, pulled any codes?

Put a vacuum gauge on it and see if that gives you any clues.

Are you up to date wth the routine maintenance items as shown in your owners manual.

Take a look at the spark plugs, they should all be a nice light brown in color.

If you are going to do the plugs, you might want to consider replacing the wires, depending on how many miles are on them. Also, easiest way to do the passenger side plugs is thru the wheel well.
