Sounds most likely that air is getting into the engine that shouldn't be. I can't say this for sure, but the symptom is pointing that direction. Have a diagnostic test done, check fuel trims (short and long term) and check for any "lean" trouble codes in the engine's computer. Ensure all air hoses under the hood are routed properly and are securely fastened.
