Sounds like a low grade misfire.

Some vehicle info and service history might help you even further.

Do your regular maintenance. Fuel filter, spark plugs, air filter, etc. then come back if you still have the problem

I'd recommend at least new plugs, coil boots, and springs to start if you're unsure of history. Throw on a fuel filter also just for gee whiz. Your problem is most likely misfire related IMO.
