Answer
Shawn,
This problem may be a result of poorly firing spark plugs, low fuel supply, bad alternator, clogged air intake, or clogged exhaust.  There are a number of items that can cause this problem, you'll want someone to fully inspect your engine to narrow down the exact problem.  All you car may need is a simply tune-up.
Good luck!
