Well I need help asap because my car is stranded at a home depot because it failed on me once again :banghead::banghead:

Oil was getting into the spark plugs when I checked because my oil cap that I bought new kept leaking and I exchanged it twice and it still kept leaking POS. Well I got new wires and plugs because I thought it was ignition once again but it still runs like shit. It idles around 500 rpms but doesn't sound good at all, once I press the gas it hesitates like a mother efer and eventually will either a) rev up but sound like shit or b) die. Its not my battery because its brand new, got new plugs and wires as well. Don't know what else it could be. I assume it might be the ignition coil but I'm not sure. Had a CEL but it doesn't appear anymore.


The engine shakes and so does the car when its hesitating. I hear a constant clicking sound as well.
