    Check the codes. The connector is right at your right knee. Could be an o2, could be mass arflow sensor, etc. You can usually get them checked for free at auto parts stores. Or buy one. It works on all OBDII cars.

    Clean your maf, that usually clears alot of it up, see if you have any loose boots on the plugs or coils, if it is misfiring really bad your ECU should pick up a misfire code. Check the codes and see what you pull.

    I agree. Start off with cleaning the MAF. Let us know if the problems persist. Also...if your MAF is dirty, you might not get any codes.

    Was the check engine light blinking? Blinking SES indicates multiple misfires.

    I would start by checking for a vacuum leak on the exhaust.
