What engine is it?

Sounds like a faulty coilpack, you need to read the codes, then it will tell
you what is wrong

This problem will not be solved without a shop of some kind, and the more
you delay solving it the more chances you're introducing more problems, like
fouling the injectors and the exhaust system. You need to pull the fault
code from the computer before you go stabbing in the dark.
