My car was okay, running excellent until I did the following two things:
1. Gave it a coolant replacement.
2. Jacked the two wheels to check tire imbalance. One side first put the car in drive to check which wheel or tire was giving the vibration. I did this on both sides. The next morning I left for work and the car will not pick up speed, and the engine kinds of shuts off out at about 3,000 rpm's. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It sounds like you upset the traction control system. Can we run the codes to confirm the issue?

Here is a guide:

Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.
