please help, I just dont know...

when i start my max it idles really rough around 700 sometimes wont start at all. its an auto, when i put it in drive the entire car shakes. It just kinda jumps from here to there. when i give it some gas, the rpm's jump and you can definitly tell a distinctive power loss. when im cruising around 60 it jumps too. i can take the o/d off and the helps the jumping a little but its still there. also when i gas it... theres just nothing there. I'm getting worried... I thought it could be a misfiring cylinder or maybe a dirty throttle body. Anyone else had these symptoms or any input would be great.

Thanks,
Jonthan

Definately sounds like a misfire

No CEL?

Take the plugs out and see if you can identify which cylinder it is.

Then you need to determine wheather it's fuel or ignition.
