Tow/haul is just an off switch for Overdrive. The converter locks in overdrive for fuel mileage AND trans fluid temperature. When you try to accelerate in overdrive with the converter locked it's painfully slow and not very effective. If your engine is "shaking" like you mention, you likely have a misfire.

Your steps from here are:
1. Comp check
2. Plenum
3. Cap, rotor, plugs, wires/wire routing
