So this is a weird one, but starting up the car today I have a ton of shake at idle/1000 rpm. Maybe its in my head but its taking a lot more to get the car to accelerate now too until I get into 2nd gear, then everything goes back to normal. Secondly there is a constant ticking/maybe rattling in the wheels as i drive and coast. I recently replace the belt on the engine but everything else has remained untouched. any guidance?
 
Take out the IAC ( idle air control valve) and clean it and its port with throttle body spray and clean the throttle body also....then put some Lucas Fuel Injector cleaner in the tank or Seafoam .

Jack the car up and shake/ spin the wheels, my guess it's wheel bearings or CV's going bad .....
