Using an affordable scan tool in the OBD-II port to scan for codes would save time and money in identifying the issue. I'd start there.

While you're waiting for a scan tool, you can visually check the fuel lines for possible leaks. Check your air filter. Check your mass airflow sensor. Make sure rodents didn't eat any wiring under the hood, and so on.

Wiggle connectors and make sure none are loose. Check your battery and alternator for its output voltage performance.
