After driving fifteen to twenty miles my car will start shaking pretty bad and lose acceleration. Does it four or five miles and then runs normally, Does not shut off. Already tried fuel treatments, changed plugs, plug wires and coil. Not sure what to try next. Also, the check engine light has not come on yet. Been doing it for five or six weeks.

Check fuel pressure with a gauge may be low causing that. Also, check for a vacuum leak like hose off etc. and check duct work from air cleaner to engine for holes or off. auto parts rent gauge. See link.
