Question Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep I have a problem... My camry, I-4 Turbo, is sick. I don't think any dayquil or nyquil will fix her. I was cruising along between cities and noticed my engine had started shaking terribly. I let off the throttle, and it seemed to go away. So I pulled into the nearest gas staion, and the engine was still running rough. I have no idea what it could be. New Headgasket, new spark plugs, new spark plug wires. However, my brother rewired my 0-2 sensor and put heat tape around the wiring. It melted. The tape that is. I don't think that will be the problem, but I guess anything is possible. I'm going to go back to my baby and check for fuel, air and spark. Anybody have any other suggestions? Please help. Thanks!

I had the same problem, and after a while it said "Check engine". I took it to a bunch of mechanics and no one knew what the problem was. Then I took it to someone else and they told me I had put in some bad gas. The gas from the station had some water in it and it got into my car.
In my case it went away on its own after a couple of days. But it still said check engine. So I unplugged the battery for about 30 minutes and put it back in and everything was fine.

But I think you can buy water remover from a Straus or auto zone, that might work for you. Now I dont know if me and you are having exactly the same problem, so dont hold me to any of this.

See what eevryone else has to say first.

The No. 2 spark plug had no gap in it at all. It was not firing, I gapped it as close as possible with my Gerber and a knife and that solved the problem. Tomorrow I am going to get the code pulled, and then try to duplicate the conditions. I hope the piston did not tap it, but I don't see how that could have happened because I was not pushing the car hard. I have taken it to redline hundreds of times throughout the life of this particular set of spark plugs. I'll keep you all updated if anyone's interested.

Thanks for the responses!!!
