ok so my car idles at like 600 and today i was on my way out of school and i was giving it the gas and it shakes like bat outa hell and barely goes anywhere i put my petal to the floor my rpm's went up but car barely got to 50 mph. in park it shakes then i give it tha gass and it clears up a bit the at 2500 rpm it sputters again. im at my last nerve with this car...anyone have any idea as to what is going on?

it does not do it all the time...it always shakes but most the time i can give it the gas and it goes right along...the only things i was thinking was 02 sensor/fule injector or maybe my horrible exaust leak.....

Been there. Injectors time.
Don't go cheap on them. Get new ones NOT rebuilt.
