try revving it manually under the hood if it revs fine the cable could be bad,...........and check the catalytic converter (at night run it till it gets warm and then rev it up to about 3000 rpms and look under it at the catty if its glowing orange it could be plugged up )

and too check the air filter .

Check ignition timing? Does it feel like a missfire? need more specific info..

if it was a cat converter you would only notice it under a load. If you can put a vacuum gauge on it and see what the needle says.

ignition timing is fuly advanced.. thats the only way it will run halfway descent.

and yes it feels like a misfire, brand new plug and wires, and fuel filter
