Take it to a dealer, they can re-flash the computer to cure some of these problems - it should be free.

rough start could be the starter is weak. or your losing compression and your motor is going bye bye*that was my car and had motor replaced* flat spot bould be spark plugs or bad coils or clogged cat, or even again low compression which equals you needing a new motor again
