When you say "chugs" does it jerk real bad, and a lag in the throttle to engine response?
This could be many things, as I went through with my car. I would go get the code read first and see what it says.
Could be anything from the normal bad gas to sensors to just a tune up is needed.
So many problems with these cars now a days cause of the sensor issue. I would still go get the code read first then go from there. Instead of blindly just changing stuff out.

we took it to the shop and we got 3 codes:

1: Map sensor
2: 3rd cylender misfire
3: Egr

We cleaned out the erg valve and we are currently giving it a tune up, so lets hope for the best.

yesterday it started to chug really bad and it now has started to miss.

It was the coil pack. replaced that and gave it a tune up.... lets see how long we can go before the next big problem.........
