It can be any of a number of problems. Possiblities are: Oxygen sensor, air filter, fuel filter, plugs, wires, rotor, distributor cap, throttle position sensor, MAP sensor, carburater, compression... and who knows what else without knowing more of the symptoms. If the vehicle is injected, it probably has a computer diagnostic port. If that's the case, borrow, rent or buy a code scanner and use it to find out exactly what the computer has detected. egr valve i just went through the same issue

Check engine light came on suddenly and when you accelerate it starts running bad kinda shaky like theres a problem with a sensor can anyone offer advice as to what the problem could be?
It can be a myriad of things. Drive the car to a trusted mechanic and have them scan the ECU with an OBD2 scan tool. The tool will retrieve the code that has been set. This code will tell you what parts are being effected and a possible repair.

98 z71 starts and runs very rough then slams into gear and dies what could cause this?
I have to guess at a few things but.. I am guessing because the engine has serious problem with how it is running the engine computer has increased the idle speed very high to try and keep it running. If this is the case putting it into gear will bang very hard and drop the engine speed to below what the engine control computer can keep it running. So it quits. Get the engine fixed.
What would make a lawn mower stop running after a short distance It starts back up again with no problem but won't stay running for long?
Lack of fuel or too much fuel will make the engine stop running. Since you are able to re-start and run for a short while, the problem is probably a clogged fuel filter. You might also want to check the air filter.
Why does my mercury villager make a loud noise when accelerating that stops when you take your foot off the pedal?
If this is a general noise, it could be the transaxle. When you are accelerating, the engine is pushing the gears, and when you let go of the pedal, the vehicle starts to shift back down. If this is an engine noise, it could be predetonation or a valve problem.
