201t been shoking latley tips on modding needed

its a 2012 model had it from new. When I first got it it had a habbit of cutting out but it stopped doing that after a couple of weeks and was great. Now its become really hard to start even when warm and when you do get it going thers not a lot of power there. Thinking the reg coates method of driving the truck over it would be appropriate sometimes
