when i accelerate it feels like miss fire??or idk

When i accelerate normal or slow it feels like it needs new spark plugs or a missfire idk im not sure what it is!
At first it felt like it needed tranny fluid. It just felt like it was doing that when i was driving.Now it does it when in park and driving! It takes off slow and takes longer to get speed. I did tune and everything! What could it be?

Spark plugs for sure. Especially if you are accelerating from a low speed and feel a hesitation in the motor.
