when was your last tune up? scan the computer for codes and post them back here.
"mikeatpriestlake" provided good advice. Hard to tell what is going on without a starting point. Having said that, do one simple check. Check to make sure your air intake is not blocked or restricted. See how the car runs with the air filter removed. If the filter has not been recently changed (within a year), change it. Then move on to checking codes if the problem persists.
I only checked for codes which stated #P0306 ignition coil I replaced that but problem still exists which is car shakes, sometimes dies while it idles, runs sluggish, hard, check engine light still remains flashing.
