Car stalling, bucking, starting issue

My car is having a starting issue, when i try to start it it stalls, when it does start its like its having a cold start problem, it revs itself, i try to go it stalls, when it finally starts it bucks and when i accelerate it wont go, it will rev up to 3k rpms and only at 30mph. it has new plugs and wires but the check engine light flashes and states a random misfire. it also has a new fuel filter.

If your saying the engine reves but your not moving much, sounds like a transaxle issue? How long since a tune-up? Use a gage and check fuel pressure.
