could be a lot of things, unfortunately. exhaust leak from the manifold from the ac dripping on it seems to be the most common problem on 99-04s i see. or, it could be running rich, or not burning all of the fuel in your combustion chamber due to poor spark, or a bad 02 sensor, or a bad coil..id start by checking for the exhaust leak under the hood. if nothing is there, scan tool it, and see if any trouble codes come up. good luck.
