I have a 97 Holden Statesman 6 cyl it will start and drive very ruff no smoke though. shakes a lot and sounds like tractor. I had a man look at it checked pressure in engine fine and radiator drops? looked at spark plugs black on one side and were damp so cleaned them off.

Have it scanned for codes. Check the fuel and air filters. Check for a vacuum leak. Check the condition of the spark plugs and wires.
