When I am accelerating up to the speed of 45 mph my car starts to sputter and hesitates for a few seconds then it stops. My other problem is my car has 130000 miles on it and I have never changed the spark plugs could that maybe have something to do with it?It also shakes when I press the brakes I even changed the brakes and put new one and rotors and it still does it. What do I do?

Could be caused by one of the following below

Throttle position sensor.

Knock sensor
Manifold absolute pressure sensor.
EGR Valve
Fuel pressure regulator leaking or defective fuel pump.
False air leakage.
Fuel contamination.
Foul/defective spark plugs.
Open spark plug wires.
Ignition coil/Coil packs defective.
Incorrect ignition timing.

Note:If it doesn't apply disregard it and keep testing.
