Just a guess, but it sounds like it might be a vacuum leak. Look around for any hoses or tubing that might have gotten loose.

Is it cold where you live? If the car sets outside in the cold then maybe the oil is too thick?? 10W30 - suggest an oil change if its old & dirty. Put in about 10 gallons of premium gas. Check the battery. A weak battery can cause issues too. Let the car warm up for a few minutes when first starting out. If all else fails get a tune up.

I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU GET YOUR VEHICLES COMPUTER SCANNED TO FIND OUT JUST WHAT THE PROBLEM IS FIRST SO THEN YOU WILL HAVE SOME IDEA WHAT IS WRONG AS WELL AS WHAT TO EXPECT.
TRY FINDING AN INDEPENDENT AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP INSTEAD OF THE DEALER OR ANY CHAIN STORE BECAUSE YOU WILL BE OVERALL MORE PLEASED WITH THE PERSONAL SERVICE THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE.

It could be carbon build up. Take the car to auto-zone and they can clean it out for you.
