Sounds like you need a tune up.

While you're at it, get a set of headers, URD Y- Pipe, Intake and exhaust.

What he said!
and run some injector cleaner through it also. After that disconnect the battery for an hour and let it reset the CPU. The computer will then relearn. My 03 limited with 140k miles runs like it's new.

Never thought of disconnecting the battery after using injector cleaner.

Are we talking about the ones you pour into your gas tank?

Yep, the kind you pour from the little bottles like STP super concentrate. Reset CPU after the tune up. Not necessarily after using injector clearner...but it will not hurt anything if you do.
You will need to put about 20 miles of all kinds of driving to re-train the CPU.
