Thankfully mine does not shake, thanks for asking. This is really not enough information to diagnose the problem. Does it shake the same every time or does it not shake or shake less sometimes? Is the "check engine" light on? Is there a speed where the shake is more pronounced? Does it have to be full throttle acceleration or does it shake under light acceleration too? Is there a noise accompanying the shake? If you accelerate around a corner is the shake any different? Left or right turn make a difference?
Not running on all cylinders? Bad spark plug or wire? Bad ignition coil (if C.O.P.)? Bad valve? etc.?
Engine Misfire? check engine light on? If so have vehicle scanned to determine the problem
