our car started chugging a few days ago, when it is sitting in the driveway and he put it in drive or reverse the car chugs pretty bad. We have replaced the spark plugs thinking it was the problem because the car wouldn't idle correctly, he has also changed some tubes thinking air was getting in them and nothing is helping.
