i have a problem wth my car. afew days a go i was on the motorway and the car started shaking and ripping back and forword and it wasnt alowing me to accelerate,also smoke coming out. the rev was going back and forward, had too stop and let the car cool up. n e way a mission to get bk home. went to the garage checked the maf and the fuel filter was ok. so i changed the spark plugs. it seemed to be ok again but after half hour it started shaking again so changed the leads for the plugs, done that now. but it still seems to be missing and the rev stays very low 3 lines under 1000 rpm. when starting is shaky but in higher revs it seems to be ok. (so far n e way) any have come a cross a probmel like this before or know what the problem is please HELP. thank you.

As long as the smoke isn't coming from your exhaust. If it is then that's a BAD sign. Could be leaking oil into a cylinder. I had the same symptoms on a GTO and it turned out that a cylinder bore had been scratched and oil was leaking in via a piston ring. Cost me £5k to get it fixed.

like b13bat says,it sounds like coil pack.i had the prob on 98 gt-b.heat from engine breaks them down prematurely.you can change leads and plugs 100 times and it wont help if coils buggered.not sure wot model you got but have you checked connection to thottle position sensor?good luck
