Answer
Jeff,
You may have an air/fuel management issue. If your check engine light is on, you can have to computer scanned for any sensor problems. Beyond that, you could have a problem in your charging or ignition system. Have your alternator, battery, and starter inspected. Your throttle body and related components should also be inspected for problems.
Good luck!
