HI!

This sounds like your car is lean not enough fuel, could be an Air flow meter going bad.

the air flow measures the amount of air going into your engine so the control unit can adjust the amount of fuel it will need to run. you could also have dirty fuel injectors, I would have them cleaned with an injector cleaner first. I hope this helps Thanks Customer (name blocked for privacy), ROY!
