Check the spark plug wells for oil in them, if there is a some then you most likely have the infamous leaky valve cover gasket, just do a search on it if that is so and you'll see how to fix it. You'll also have to replace your plugs and wire if this is the problem. Other thing that will cause this problem is a small vacuum leak. Hopefully this isn't the problem as it is a pain in the butt to determine where the leak is until it happens consistantly.
