Could be a lot of things, but I would replace the fuel filter first and see if that solves the problem. The fuel filter should be under the vehicle and along the driver's side frame rail. I have added a photo to show you what your fuel filter looks like.

If that doesn't solve the problem, you should clean the throttle body on your vehicle. You do that by removing the large air cleaner hose and spraying carburetor cleaner into the throttle body with the vehicle running. Have a friend rev the engine while you spray it, so it doesn't stall. Be sure to spray the cleaner at arm's length, since carb cleaner is highly flammable. 

Other possible solutions would be a tune up (spark plugs, wires and distributor cap, if it has one) or a new ignition coil. A bad coil could cause your problem, but I would try the other possible solutions first. 

If it's still a problem after all that, I would add fuel injector cleaner and start filling up with 93 octane gas for awhile. I doubt if that would help much, but if all else fails, give it a shot.
