OK... just to be fair, you need the help, and we want to help. With that being said it wouldn't be fair for us to go into a long explanation of what you should do, if you had already done it. SO. Please be explicit in what you have already done, what yuo have ruled out, how you ruled it out (because we see a lot of people here with misconceptions of what means what).
I'd say 9 times out of 10 we'll help a person nail down the issue, if they are reasonably able to follow directions. AND they answer all questions put to them.
So the next thing is... LastTudor mentioned that your timing chain may have jumped a tooth. The way that I know of to test that is to do a compression test. DO you have acces to a compression guage? If not I believe that Autozone (perhaps others) has a tool loaner program, and a compression guage is one of the tools they will loan out.
Read the compression in each of your cylinders and let us know what the results were.
In addition have you pulled diagnostic codes?
Pull Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) From your onboard computer.
Your engine and transmission are computer controlled.
The computer uses sensors to tell it a number of different things and it controls actuators that push or pull mechanical levers (kinda). If one or more sensors aren't working properly, the computer goes "blind" and doesn't know what to do. If the computer can "see" but one of the actuators is broken and therefore can't follow the commands of the computer; the engine won't run correctly. The computer is preprogrammed with set values for each of its sensors, and each of its actuators. It will run a self check of all systems, like the space shuttle; it will compare its set value(s) to the value(s) it recieves from its sensors, and actuators. If any sensor or acutator is out of the "normal" range the computer will generate a "code." It will generate some codes on the fly, and others will be stored while you are driving. There is a simple method to "pull codes" out of the computer for one to use for diagnostic purposes.
Earlier versions of On Board Diagnostics OBD 1983-1995 can flash the error code to the dash board and can be pulled in one's driveway without any special tools.
Later versions of On Board Diagnostics OBDII some 1995, and pretty much all 1996 and newer, require one to use a code reader or scanner tool.
Some auto parts stores will scan your engine codes for FREE, you may want to call around. Some will scan OBDII but not the older (prior to 1996) OBD systems.
SO here you go...
