If the 'check engine' light is coming on, suggest to have the codes pulled to see if that gives any direction.

Could be any one or combination of many things. Need more information, such as does it continue to run rough if the engine speed is increased? When was the last time general maintenance such as fuel filter, plugs, etc. were done?

It's just hard to even hazard a guess at this point.
