Default HELP!!! Car feels like it's going to die!!!

Went for a cruise last night, all was fine then all of sudden the car starts shaking like crazy.Make it home, not going over 60 mph. Turn car off and on. It starts and does'nt die but has this coughing sound like it does want to die. Open hood and every thing all the way down to the tips is shaking like crazy <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0"> It's giving out a strong exhaust and fuel smell. I took it around the block and gave it some gas but it still shakes and coughs like it's gonna die but it does'nt. There's no knocking or pinging, it just shakes like crazy. What could it be!!!

Dmoney,

It could be your TPS, or mass air might have gone bad. I have had both of these things happen to my car. Are you getting a SES light???? If so reset your CPU, and see if it is still doing the same thing. Did you get any water under the hood?????? If so that could do it to.
