My car has been running fine (a little hesitation when taking off) until last Thursday. I braked to turn onto a street and as soon as I turned my car started running really rough. The car will start okay but then starts to shake (a lot). It smooths out at higher rpms. When my son looked at it he thought maybe it was the plugs and/or wires, so we replaced those. Still running rough. We did find out however, that when you take the plug wire off the no. 1 plug (passenger side) it still runs and starts. Just an fyi, my muffler has a large hole in it. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.
