Quick way to check...... pour some octane booster in and see how it runs.

is it under hard acceleration? If so could you be spinning the tires and that could be traction control

You should go ahead and change it, to rule that out.

Could be an ignition problem also.

Fresh set of plugs wouldn't hurt. Depending on your year, replacing the plug wires would be a good idea also if it is a 96-98. If its a 99-04 you may have a bad coil pack or more.

If you change the spark plugs, do it on a COLD engine and do not overtourqe them.
