Sounds like it's not firing on all cylinders . Could check basics like plugs , air filter . May also be a plug lead breaking down intermittently causing a misfire on a cyl . It could also be a fuel injector fault , you can buy fuel injector cleaners that you just pour into the tank from any car accessory shop or store like Halfords
