When the car gets up to about 30 35 MPH it's just like you push it into neutral and it's missing.

Do you have a check engine light on? We should run the codes. You can get a code scanner from Amazon for about $20.00.

Here is a guide/video to show you how:

Have you had an engine tune up recently? If not, I would start with that here is a guide to help you see how the job is done and instructions in the images below to show you how on your car.

Spark Plug Type .................... AC 41-940
1.52 mm (0.060 in)
15 Nm (11 lb-ft)

Also, do a throttle bore service.
