What kind of gas are you putting in?

Actually its a missfire. Fairly sure. Go to the stealership and get some spark plug wires. Replace your spark plugs with good old fashioned NGK plugs. None of that iridium ****.

If you have a CEL then take it to the nearest Autozone and have them give you the codes from it. That will tell you your problem

It sounds just like a missfire dude. Thats exactly how it would behave. Other than that the only thing i can think of is extreme knock.. and the missfire is a little more likely.
