The first thing I would do is check the computer for codes or pending codes. If there where no codes I would check the air filter, clean the throttle plate, and put a bottle of Techron fuel injection cleaner in the tank. There is special throttle plate cleaner and if you have an electronic throttle, no cable, don't force the plate open. Have someone sit inside, turn the key on, don't start the car, and step on the gas pedal. That will open the throttle safely so it can be cleaned.
That's what I would do first.
If there are codes or pending codes then you have to diagnose those first.
