What things have you looked at or tried to remedy the issue?
What grade of fuel are you running?
What weight of oil do you run?
Do any of the gauges exhibit anything that might be a symptom?
Does the car rattle or sound funny?
When was the last tune up with plugs wires etc?
Is the check engine light on?

Please..help us, help you.

You'll want to check your fuel pressure, you can add some seafoam to the fuel tank to clean the injectors, you can change the fuel filter. Check to see if the EGR valve is stuck open. Check your plugs to see if they are worn or have excessive gape.
