first pull the spark plug boot off and check for tracks, then check the spark plug condition , it's gonna be 1 of 3 things the spark plug itself , injector , or spark plug boot. it could also be the plug wire.

Car shaking while at a stop?
most likely misfiring cylinder(s) and/or worn engine mounts.
Your Car shakes when AC is on what could it be?
Is it a 4 cylinder? Sometimes a 4 cylinder engine will shake a little extra when the AC is running and it's at an idle. You might be able to step up the idle a little extra but 4 cylinder engines are notorious for shaking when the AC is running.
How do you fix a car from shaking while driving?

I have a 2003 Mazda tribute I went to drive it this morning and the car was shaking when I pulled off the check engine light started blinking the car was shaking making noise what can it be?
The answer is on page 11 in the owner's manual ( "Light is blinking" ). Engine is misfiring, bring it to a garage as soon as possible.
What can cause engine sputtering in a car that makes the engine shake so bad that it vibrates the entire car?
A cylinder misfiring can cause this sympton, check/replace spark plugs and plug wires. Also, sputtering and shaking can be caused by engine timing, have the timing checked. Another cause can be fouled fuel injectors on fuel injected vehicles.
BMW 318i when you start the car it starts shaking but when you press the accelerator it stops shaking but when you take the foot off the pedal it starts shaking again?
One or more cylinders on one side is/are not firing. Check by pulling a plug wire while the engine is running. If there is no change when you pull the plug wire than that cylinder is not doing anything. Replace the plug wire and pull another until you find the one that, when pulled does not affect the engine.
How does the kink in a mercury or alcohol work in a clinical thermometer?
The kink stops the mercury from falling, giving the user/reader of the thermometer time to read the highest temperature recorded. Shaking the thermometer lets the mercury fall again.

In response to the motor with the bad shake its a 1992 240sx ka24de 2.4 liter dohc 4 cylinder just did a motor swap shakes really bad during idol when the motors warm its still shaking?
In general, engine "shaking" is caused by a misfire in one or more cylinders. That can be caused when a multiport injector is plugged or faulty, a plug wire or sparkplug is faulty or one or more cylinders have low compression. Try to isolate the cylinder that's not firing. Plastic pliers are available for pulling plug wires. Pull one plug wire at a time and see which one DOESN'T make a difference. When you pull the plug wire from a cylinder that's running, that cylinder will stop firing and the engine will run worse. If you come across a cylinder that was already misfiring, the engine won't run any worse by disconnecting the plug. Once you've isolated the cylinder, check the plug. If it's fouled or wet, it's possibly an ignition problem, check the wire(s) and possibly replace the plugs. On the other hand, while you have the plug out, check the compression on that cylinder, it should be above 100 PSI, or at least very near to it. If the plugs are good, and the compression is up, start being suspicious of the injector.
Why is your Toyota echo engine shaking?
Could be any number of reasons. First if the check engine light is on, make sure you read the codes which will give you clues as to what is wrong. It could be a misfiring cylinder, bad/dead spark plug, warped cylinder, damaged or missing motor mount, or even a damaged/worn timing chain. A simple cause would be bad fuel or water in fuel, or a clogged air filter. Check your oil level, spark plugs, and air filter first, these are easy and inexpensive to replace.
