Shaking at idle? Check injectors/spark. One dead cylinder will have that rockin'.

Ummm when I first bought my car I couldn't rev past 5k either. Try cutting the 5th gear sensor. That's probably telling you car it's in 5th gear topping out? I dont know try it out and see what happens.

Well if it won't start check for fuel and spark. Pull the line off the fuel rail to see if your fuel pump is working. If you are then check spark. Then go from there.
