Could it be misfiring? When was the last time you changed the spark plugs and ignition coils/wires?

If you have no way to scan the OBD system, take it to an auto parts store like AutoZone and get it scanned for free.

Everything I’ve read says to do all 3, unless you have some BHR coils. My guess is that’s a good place to start anyways
