At idle my car is missing really bad and vibrates really bad. And takeoff is really sluggish too it acts like i'm taking off in fourth gear instead of first but once it gets rolling and I get on the gas harder it runs perfect. Any clues?

Engine misfiring can be caused by worn or fouled spark plugs, a weak spark (weak coil, bad spark plug wire), loss of compression, vacuum leaks, anything that causes an unusually lean fuel mixture (lean misfire), an EGR valve that is stuck open, dirty fuel injectors, low fuel pressure, or even bad fuel.
