Answer
Hi
Sounds like a misfire to me.
My advice would be to take it to either a good nationwide parts store (Auto Zone, Advanced, etc..) and MOST have free scanning of codes. Some of the national chain repair facilities (Meineke, Midas, Pepboys etc..) do the same also. They could also give a quote on repairs also.]
Hope this helps
Good Luck
God Bless
