I need help! I have a 1996 Olds Achieva. I only have 1 car and its acting up.

I need this car to get back and forth to work. The car has a miss. I changed the fuel pump, changed the
spark plugs and still have the miss. Can anyone help or give me ideas what it can be?

When i start off or come to a stop it takes a sec seconds longer than it should to get up to speed. Once at 40 - 45 miles and hour I can stay there as long as I dont have to slow down or stop.

Engine running rough or misfiring can be cause by the following:

1.Defective spark plug
2.Inadequate spark/coil,defective spark plug wire.
3.Lack of compression
4.False air leakage.
5.Faulty fuel injectors.
6.Insufficient fuel pressure.
7.Contaminated fuel.
8.EGR valve that is leaking.
9.Oxygen sensors.
10.Throttle position sensor.
