i tried that but it didnt work. i havent replied in so long because i dont have a comp at my house so whenever i go to my moms i use it. well neways, any other suggestion?
While the car is running in nuetral (or park), Pull the spark plug wires one at a time, and then put them back. If you don't notice a change when you pull one, than you have a dead cylinder in the one with the corresponding plug.
You can also look at your spark plugs. It's a good idea to do that whenever something is wrong with your engine. Lets you know how it is running. If only one of them is all black and gooey, than thats probably a dead cyclinder.
Have you replaced the plugs yet?

yes ive replaced all spark plugs and ignition wires- but for some reason its still shaking - im thinking about just letting it sit for another two months until i get an SR. my friend can get a redtop and have it installed for $2500. I think its a pretty good deal. Well thanks for the help joey and sil-eighty. PAYCE
