Injectors could be clogged, fuel filter may need changed, cats could be clogged. You may also have bad gas or alot of water in your gas. Your timing could be off. You may have other problems with your ignition system, too. There is a number of things it could be.

Is your check engine light on? Check for codes, even if it isn't.

You can also just jump the Self-Test IN wire to the SIG-RTN with a paper clip.
