This sounds like limp mode which is your car trying to protect itself from damage. Do you have a check engine light? Go to a local autoparts store and have them pull the codes. Solve the codes and try again. Do yourself a favor and dont just buy parts and hope the problem goes away. This is expensive and wont always produce results. If im not wrong the h23a is the vtec model. If so there are differences between the other engine. If you have idle issues it could be the idle air controll, a vacuum leak, an air metering or fuel metering issue.

Blue some is burning oil. Check your PCV valve 1st, but if this is bad, your idle would be high. If it smokes when 1st starting only, the valve guides and/or seals are bad. If it smokes while driving, the rings are worn out.

Code 1 is pump failure. You can try to "exercise" the pump by engaging the ABS. Do this on an empty road or parking lot. Also changing the fluid in the pump. These might prolong the life of the pump, but most likely it will need to be replaced.

Disconnect cable from shifter to see if shifter work ok

check the drive belt condition and tension

You should first cool the radiator with the water and then ask the professionals because i don't have the visual of your car. I suggest you to ask professionals.

post year. if tranny slips its bad tranny. (depends on year) if the engine misfire and has weak power that is not a tranny issues but a engine issue., have some how knows cars tell you which is which. if you mash the throttle and the dash RPM goes way over 3000 RPM that is in fact a bad tranny in any gear Forward or reverse. shaking is the engine, i guess. do you check fluid levels on your car. and use the operators guide for the A/T tranny levels, dont guess. use the book it has tricky steps. read it. good luck to you.
