Answer
Hey,

 Have ignition timing checked first off.  Then scan it for codes and make sure you have a good oxygen sensor.  Check for vacuum leaks under the hood but it wouldn't hurt to install a new primary 02 if youcan't check it. They don't last forever and are the leading cause of fuel economy problems.
