Would scan for any pending codes if not done so already. Check for vacuum leaks. Any rubber hoses associated with vacuum lines. Have a look at the condition of your spark plugs and MAF. A dirty MAF can throw off your air/fuel ratio. Other thoughts are checking the fuel pump pressure at the rail. Good luck!
