'97 Nissan Maxima shakes really bad when idling!

Shakes really bad when idling at red light (putting car into neutral does not stop it anymore). The same time this started I noticed the gas mileage has gotten really horrible!! Today a new symptom appeared it would not start. The battery is good, spark plugs are brand new and air filter is new. Any suggestions

SOURCE: My car has poor acceleration and it shakes when stop also smells

Sounds like you're missing on a cylinder or two. Tune it up, first. That might very well fix your problem. Tell the part store guy you need a COMPLETE tune up kit and replace everything that he gives you parts for. Not just plugs and wires, although they would be better than nothing. I'm pretty sure this will fix you up. The symptoms you're describing are classic for a tune up.

SOURCE: remove door panel on 97 nissan maxima

remove screws - they is probably one around the door handle (carefully pry out cover piece) - and underneath any big round (1 inch diameter) plastic screw hole cover - then carefully pry off.

I have intermittent rough idle on my 2003 nissan altima. car shakes in gear at stop, mostly fine in neutral.

Replace the spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, and rotor. Next, check the idle air control valve and replace it if found faulty. If it still shakes, have the timing checked out
