driving problem

i drive a 2k2 EX coupe and just recently it's been really sluggish and accelerates a lot slower than it used to. Also when i press the gas, there is some strong vibration and the engine sounds a bit louder than it used to.

Just wondering anyone of you have experienced anything like this or know what it is.

Sounds like you could be running on 3 cylinders or so. Take it to the dealer and have them look at the coils. Also check to see if the spark plugs are fouled. Maybe pick-up a new set since they are farely cheap.
