The car sounds rough when I start it, when I take off it it moves slow (creep) then just kicks in and rides smooth, it never goes above 30 mph and if I try to push it pass 30 mph it start to shake like it wants to cut off. I have changed the coil pack, the cam censor, and the acceleration pedal. Still no change, please help me.
