is the check engine light on if it is you could start by having codes read in the computer.
if it is bogging down or dies out on acceleration you should have fuel pressure checked and if you havent changed the fuel filter within the last 20000 miles you could probably start there.
if its hesitating or missing it is probably an ignition problem plugs or wires or possibly a coil.

Thanks for your response Bejay.
I will start with the filter as I believe this is probably the original and has 50000 miles on it.
I runs pretty smooth at speed once it gets going... no check engine light
thanks again.
