Most likely it is due to the fuel filter getting clogged. They are really cheap and easy to replace so this a good place to start. Could also be a dirty air filter, which is also cheap and easy to replace. If that doesn't fix it, it could be the sparks plugs getting weak or fouled. Most likely it's goona be one of those, and they are all usually replaced (except for the fuel filter) during a normal routine tune-up anyway, so if you haven't gotten your tune-up done lately now might be a really good time to do it. I hope this helped.
