Default CEL + Loss of power/acceleration + Shaking while Idol - 2002 Lancer ES

So I bought this lancer in march at about 108k miles, and today I pulled out of my driveway with no problem, but at a stop sign my CEL turned on and then i felt my car start shaking while idol. i turned to go up a hill, and it took forever, I lost alot of power and i could barely accelerate... I immediately went back home and on the way, i could only reach a max speed of like 40 mph, and it felt weak and shaky so now here I am. Could some one help!

Thanks

Sounds like the car is misfiring. I would start by checking/replacing the ignition components (ie spark plugs, wires)
