Is it normal to the point that the engine runs rough and shakes when it's warm and spiting all this moisture/water.When it's cold it run's great.Thanks for your reply.

It is normal for condensation to come out. Go to a part store, have them hook up a code reader, all cars sold in the US after 1996 have to have an OBDII system, all the same connector. You should be able to find out what is going on

Here are the codes.
16556 looked it up and it says fuel trim-system rich (bank 1).
16725 says camshaft position sensor circuit-out of range/performance.
17536 says long term fuel trim-system too lean (bank 1).

Can someone tell me what parts I need and where are they on the car. thanks in advance to all that help.

cam sensor range performance
has any one done a timing belt lately
this code comes on when belt timing is off
could make the other codes come on too
