my car is shaking when im driving.. and when im parked and its really lazy when i hit the gas, i nailed the gas and it took the car like 10 seconds to hit like 35 mph... i dont know whats up with it

any ideas guys?

 

plugged cat. converter is what it sounds like to me or it is out of time.

what color is the smoke when you do this?

If it is white like steam and your loseing fluid it might be a head gasket or a leak of some kind.

 

what year is your ride? how many miles? sounds like clogged injectors or a dirty fuel filter. Try filling up on a tank of premium fuel (if you can find a co-signor for the loan to pay for it, that is) and adding a bottle of injector cleaner.

When was the last time it had a tune-up/changed spark plugs?

 

Could be a cat, an upper intake, a bad coil pack, melted plug wires. Those are the things that jump in my head when ya say shaking. Did this just happen all of the sudden or has it been progreesivly getting worse?

 

I second this question. If it was a gradual decline I would target the CAT and/or fuel filter as the problem. If the problem started overnight I would look more toward ignition or gasket failure areas.

 

found it... melted spark plug wire...

 

Good deal, at least was somthing easy.

 

How did you melt a spark plug wire?? lol

 

i didnt....

when the dealership did the intake manifold they did spark plugs too... sooooo im going after the dealership
