when i accelerate from a standstill, my car starts shaking and feels like it is going to stall but then disappears after 10 seconds. It drives fine but i'm afraid the shaking isn't safe for morning rush hour traffic on the highway. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

Is this an automatic or manual transmission?

Hows your temp?

When was the last time you got sparks and wires for it?

jayjay86 · 08-29-2005, 12:54 PM

i had sparks changed about 2k miles ago, not wires, engine temp. is about halfway on the gauge, and it's an automatic.

i also do oil changes every 3k miles and recently had my tranny fluid flushed and refilled.

Could be a drive train issue, any vibration feelings and sound, that get worse as you speed up.

Fuel pump or fuel filter maybe, sounds like you're getting fuel in sputters and not in a spray like it should be. If that doesn't work, it could also be dirty injectors.

Maybe a dying alternator?
