Q: Car won't accelerate and hard to start
Hello. So to make a long story short, I bought a car off Craigslist and I worked on it and got it running. I took a trip down to Columbus having no problem and as soon as I filled up my tank, no matter how far I pushed down the petal, it wouldn't accelerate over 5 mph. So I got it towed home and cleaned the throttle body, replaced all of the vacuum hoses, and replaced the transmission range sensor and finally got it running again. After driving it for a little, my car started to get harder to start and accelerating became difficult to do. After some time I finally got to the spot I'm in. I have no CEL except misfires. i replaced all of the spark plugs and it's still having that problem. My thought is that it is the coil pack or spark plugs but I don't have enough money to buy that and still not have my car running. Do you think that it could most likely be those issues or could it be something else that's smaller?
My car has 165000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
