HELP PLEASE! 1990 GTA

MY GTA shakes horribly and wont go past 25-40 mph not matter how much i push the gas. Ive had the distributor and spark plugs changed. Anyone have had a similar issue or know what my next move should be?

Check to make sure your firing order is correct and that your wires are pressed on your plugs and distributer all the way.

when you changed the distributer did you line it up correct when installing it. Also check to make your plug wires are correct.
