Could a lot of things. Plugs and wires? Is the check engine light on?

^This. Most auto parts stores will read the codes for free. Call around first to verify that. Get them read (could be more than one), and post what they are.

P0303 Code - Cylinder #3 Misfire
P0110 DTC - IAT Circuit Malfunction

Cylinder 3 (rear bank, middle) gets spark from the coil on top of cyl 6 (front bank, drivers side) via a plug wire. Could be a bad plug wire or a bad plug in cyl 3.

IAT = intake air temperature. IIRC, this sensor is mounted in the air filter box. Check that it's connected, and that the cable is not damaged.
