Yo dudes, so the other day I was cleaning my car checking oil etc as a potential buyer was coming to have a look at it. Anyway was running fine before then when I started it to move it out the garage all hell broke loose and it just started shaking and misfiring on idle. So I drove it down the street and it would not go past 2 and a half grand unless I gunned it and was shaking pretty violently. Anyways I left it for a day and went to dive it again the next day and it has impoved a bit but still runs like a POS, loses power, shakes and misfires. Any ideas? I changed the fuel filter this morning but did nothin.

check plugs, do an error check to see if any sensors are playing up, did you wash the engine bay at all?
