A car engine will shake just running. However, if it is a really bad shake, it could be the engine being out of time, a fouled/misfiring plug (s), a vacuum leak (depending on the year and make of the car), or even trash in the fuel lines going to the carburator/fuel injection system. I'm sure there are others, but these are the most common ones I've found in 40 years of driving and working on cars.
