hey guys i have a quick question.. i have a 96 eclipse gst w/auto trans.. my head gasket was cracked so i took it to the shop to repair it..my car used to run so smooth before i took it there.. i had the head gasket replace the intake manifold gasket and the other small gaskets.. i have had the car back now for 5 days and the car is shaking a lot more than it used to (it used to shake a little because i have prothane motor mounts) and it feels like the car is running a lot harder than it used to and also when i accelerate now the car feels like its not getting any juice and it kind of hesitates a little can you please tell me what you think the problem is.. thanks guys

the first thing that comes to mind is the timing belt is off a tooth, messing up the cam timing. have them recheck it.
