Okay I'm gonna do the cps tommorow so well see if that fixes that. The thing is my car starts, has asr/bas light on. When I step on the gas is does not floor it, like run the engine, all I hear is me stepping the pedal and hearing a low rev, and I mean low. I don't know if the coils might be the problem, so well see if it comes to that, it has oil in the air intake box, and its drivable, like its a struggling badly. I was hoping me posting a video refresh some peoples mind about the sound of the engine and it shakes a lot.

Lets see 120k and 200 miles past the latest scheduled maintenance.I would start fresh with - new plugs, fuel filter,air filter.The way the motor is shaking you probably need engine mounts.At 120k its probably a safe bet the O2 sensors are going so you might want to look at those too.The car sounds like its gasping for air so I would look around for a vacuum leak AFTER I addressed the above mentioned items.Can you give us a little history on the maintenance ( or lack there of ) ?

I did oil change in August, did trans service in March plus oil change, replaced water pump, replaced maf, replaced drag link, ball joints, arm bushings, charcoal filter, air filter, fuel filter, oil filter. All new within the year of 2011. Where are the 02 sensors at?

You should have 2 o2 sensors - 1 pre-cat & 1 post cat.Look underneath the car along the exhaust system.
