Have you checked your fuel pressure?

Fuel pump would be my first guess, also check that all your plug wires are nice and snug.

check your IAC and MAF sensor. i'd clean them both. try taking it to autozone to get it scanned to see if the PCM is throwing any codes. like i said, my first guess would be it needs new sensors or they're just dirty.

fuel pump is also a good possibility. let's hope it's not that
