As the poster above has helpfully suggested, It could be the MAF? But It also could be Spark plugs, Ignition Leads... But It could be that the throttle body needs cleaning. It sometimes gets contaminated with oil from the engine breather. Just take the main feed from the Air box off the throttle body and Clean it with carb and choke cleaner and some kitchen roll. You may see an improvement. If not try the MAF or the other parts I suggested...
