Ahhh im on here so much lol. So everything has been fine until today when i went to the mall and when i got back in the car and turned it on. My car started shaking. It feels like vibrations. It doesnt vibrate as I pick up speed but as soon as i slow down it vibrates again. Now the car did this for most of the night until I dropped off my gf then it stopped ( i think shes bad luck lol..) However... When I dropped her off I unplugged my TPS sensor then plugged it back in and in about a in minute it stopped. but i just replaced this damn sensor. Anyone have any ideas?

Has the CEL come ON? Are you certain that it works? Check for stored codes.

Could be an injector coil failing. Sometimes they work intermittently, before they fail completely.

Ohm test your injectors. The should be within the 10-14 ohm range. Anything below or above that indicates injector failure or coil failure.

how do you check them? is there a write up for that on here? None of my lights has come on; it's pretty wierd. Maybe it's tied to that gas smell? I'm gonna have to check the ecu tomorrow.

Check out this thread. Be prepared to break some plastic parts and scrape a few knuckles unless you're more talented than i am (very possible).
