It does sound like you may have a vacuum leak or possible due for a tune up. If this are ruled out, you may want to perform a fuel pressure test.

You're very welcome, don't forget to inspect all vacuum hoses on intake system. Slight tug on them will help determine if they are lose or disconnected.
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.
