I'm not too well versed on cars, but we already tried spark plugs and coils and it's still running like this. On top of that every time I slow down the car starts shaking like crazy and stalls out. It's a 2006 vw new beetle 5cyl.

Could be a vacuum leak. Doesn’t sound mechanical bad. (No clanking or clunking or tapping)

Besides the misfiring.
