try spraying some of that carb/brake clean around ur injectors and any other vacuum areas while the car is running. if the engine picks up you know u have a leak. thats where i would start

When did the car last have a tune up? If it is due a set of plugs and wires along with a new cap and rotor may be all it needs. At least check the plugs, they may offer a clue to the problem.

also if the car is shaking vigorously.check your injectors. could be as simple as an O ring replacement.
