i cant really drive it because the alternator is dead leaving me only with the Battery. but when i did drive it home it didnt carry that fast. The other things im suspisious about is the engine shaking when idle. and i have the wiper speed problem.

Fix the alternator first and then worry about everything else.
A dead alternator can cause all kinds of headaches.
