it could need new spark plugs orspark plug weir's
added by audiohelix:
many possible things could be wrong.
first and foremost see if it is throwing an SES code
if it is..the code will tell you exactly what is wrong...
try a few simple diagnostic things
disconnect the Mass Air Flow Meter(connected in the tube leading from airbox to throttlebody) it might take a time or two to start...but if it holds idle it might just be dirty or be bad all together.
you can try and see if its an issue with the Inatke Air temp sensor...do the same..disconnect and see if it suddenly runs better
chances are you could have fouled spark plugs or worn out spark plugs...or a wire that has gone bad..usually you will get a misfire code if this is the case
really the best thing is to have it checked by an OBDII code reader...which typically most auto parts dealerships will offer a free code reading.
get the code..look it up online
