whens the last time you gave her a real good tuneup:

-seafoam the motor
-plugs/wires/rotor/contacts
-fluids flushed and refilled
-IAC/TB/MAF cleaned
-TPS voltage adjusted
-O2 sensors cleaned
-adjust timing to 10-14*

depending on the setup/mileage/frequency of maintanence these maybe some things to consider doing!
