Default how does the engine feel? any stuttering?

it sounds like your engine is misfiring intermittently (but don't take my word on it). Bring it to someone that can hook it up to a computer to see what codes it's throwing.

Default here's a quick thing to check...

there is a small tube that goes from the bottom exhaust side of the engine and connects to the front of the intake manifold. It's a black nylon-threaded tube and is prone to breaking because the engine heat dries it out. Check to see if it's broken because it will throw a check engine light.

If that's not it, then bring it somewhere to have the codes pulled.
