check to make sure #5 spark plug wire isn't bad,make sure you have not wired it wrong from changing plugs. You should purchase a chilton manual if you haven't already

Get a second opinion from a shop that will test your alrenator for you. Most localservice stations can handle that.

SOURCE: 2 months ago i replaced

If you didn't use the OEM (original parts from dealer) That may be your issue. I've seen it before. (Specifically Nissan's)
If you can, you can Ohm out all of the coil packs and see if they are all similar. (A small difference can set an engine code)

SOURCE: my miata shakes at 40 mph

Although you didn't say if it feels like the shaking is coming from a wheel, it sounds to me like you have a bad tire even though they are new. Take it back to where you got the tires and have them take a look. If they can't see anything, ask them to take it for spin.

Car shakes and jerks

If it was a coil it would read "service engine" after about two weeks of driving. I would replace the motor mounts.

98 expedition 5.4 4x4 with dual a/c..sputters and shakes while idle and driving...please help me ! i have replaced 5 of the 8 spark plugs till i can get to the back 3 (pain in the ****) no change not even...

When you know the symptom who needs codes?And if there was a code it probable say lean bank 02. why simple you have a misfire. the smell rich exhaust the shake and sputter in drive. 2 causes the Expedition suffer from ,An open EGR valve.If you can change a fuel filter and change a spark plug you can test this. when the engine is running and misfire at idle and the vehicle is warmed up and at operating temperature. Turn off engine. Go to the EGR is it hot to touch. because if it is it open and this the the culprit.Another misfrie is from COP (coil on plug.)When you change the spark plug where any of the spark boot torn or worn that spark can go through. Or even a faulty COP will do this .To find it you have the engine running and lift one COP out of the cylinder and listen for a engine drop if the engine RPM drop the COP is good if no change in engine the COP is bad. By the way 600rpm in drive is low

My car shakes a lot while at stop lights. Whats wrong?

Poor performance from spark plugs and wires. mine did the same thing. I tried to change the spark plugs, and found oil within and around the spark plug boots, which is problematic, but not the actual cause of your problem. If you find this, your valve cover gasket needs replacing.

If not, just get new plugs and wires. Got that done and shaking almost disappeared completely.

Enigine shaking and rough take off

If the plug wires were off there's a good chance that you have fouled a spark plug or two causing the engine to misfire making it shake. It sounds like a good tune-up might be in order.

I replaced the spark plugs and wires on my 91 blazer now the thing shakes when i drive it what could it be

check the gap on the plugs also due to a severe run! in aftermarket spark plugs the past 28 months nation wide you may want to recheck and re evaluate the plugs as one or 2 maybe defective right out of the box!! which is highly common also make sure your plug wire boots are firm and pushed on securely! and not touching the exhaust manifolds
