It sounds to me like misfire. Try putting the transmission in drive, holding the brakes and applying gas shot. If you feel rumbling or hesitation you should check the spark plugs.

Also, using spray water, put some water on the spark plugs wires while the engine is on. Go over the wires with a screwdriver, if you see spark you need to replace the spark plugs wires.
