More likely a fuel delivery problem and highly likely related to the use of ethanol-based fuel.
Replace your fuel filter, and verify sufficient pressure at the fuel rail. Replace the fuel pressure regulator and/or the fuel pump as indicated by pressure test. Verify that rust hasn't clogged the fuel pickup strainer in your gas tank, and (as a precaution) replace ALL FUEL with fresh (ethanol-free fuel, if possible).
If you have not performed a major tune-up on the vehicle (including plug wires and coil packs) within the past five years or 50,000 miles, do so.
