Check for exhaust leaks for the noise. If the check engine light isn't on, check for vacuum leaks. If you have a "dead" miss where the engine is shaking, loss of power. Check to make sure the plug wires are good, plugs are good and not loose. If it has been a long time since a tune up, it may be time.
