Sounds like your engine needs some care, a going over. Should first put a code reader, scanner on to check for codes to see if it is more than just a tune-up. Spark plugs and wires would need to be checked, along with the Throttle body being cleaned, intake manifold checked, see if there are any vacuum leaks, the MAF sensor and screen cleaned properly, it just needs to be checked over to see what it needs.
