Ok. Drove it last night and it was fine. Today it had a small miss. A little bit ago, I started it up and it made this AWFUL screecing sound(possible belt but its pretty new). Let it idle for a bit and it quieted down. Drove it some and it started squeaking again. Then when I was driving, when I hit the accelerator, it was like it was not getting enough power to make it move. The RPMs were going up but the car was not moving as fast(possibly in overdrive?) but I down shifted to D and it acted normal. But then started lurching. Got it home. Im out of ideas. It's a automatic. repairs follow below:

Distributor
Transmission
Bearing Rods
Exaust
Fuel pump
Digidash
Battery
Alternator
Window Regulator
Sound system
Tires/Rims
Shocks
Winshield wiper motor
Intake manifold gasket
Radiator
Waterpump
Belt
Front spoiler
Coolant resovoir
Interior pieces
Windshield
Maf sensor
Spark plugs
Spark plug wires
Rotor button
coil
Distributor Cap
Gas Cap
Starter
Wiper arms
Headlights/Gears
Disabled Vats
Rotors
Pads
Master cylinder
Brake booster(twice)
Throttle body has been cleaned
Couple gaskets
Valve covers
Hoses
A couple different sensors
Air Conditioning
Foglights
Front right brake caliper

Might have overlooked a few other things. Will post if I can remember them.


Im annnoyed. It's always something. Any help would be appreciated. I need the car to run and run properly! If I can't get this running normally for cheap, the car is gone( my parents say but they have said that before...)
 
For the slipping, if it is an automatic, pull the trans dipstick. Smell for burnt clutch pack or if say the oil looks dark and not a charred smell, but still an oil smell, I could be worn clutches you shifting out of the other clutch pack.

As far as the engine miss, you might have one of your new plug wires touching ground or is burned on the rope someplace that hits ground and that is one variable to that engine miss.
