So the car has almost no power when trying to accelerate it, it trembles alot, but once I get it moving it does not tremble anymore. And when it is at a complete stop, it misfires about every ten seconds, just one misfire. If I turn the air conditioner on it misfires even more. So what I did was check the ignition coil, spark plugs are okay. Turns out the coil was burned, and I bought another one from the agency, I replaced it, cranked the engine, and now it does not even run at all. I put the old coil back in again and it works, but the engine misfires and trembles a lot. I am lost. I would appreciate the help. Thanks

Scan for codes and check fuel pressure with a gauge auto parts rent it. see link

misfires are best left to a mechanic to diagnose as so much stuff can be bad like sensors /vacuum leaks or basic engine problems.
