Could be all sorts. Remove and clean all grounds from battery to engine points (alternator, manifold etc).

Check the battery.

Reset the ECU.

Could be plugs.

Check leads.

Check coil packs on properly.

That's it off the top of my head.

First and easiest thing to try is a bottle of injector cleaner. £5 ish from halfords for a bottle of STP, I have used this on a number of cars with proven results. But use it whilst doing short runs as it gives it time to clean the injectors.
