If the car's mileage is over 130,000 and the car is shaking when you drive it, it's the torque converter gear in the transmission, which causes the transmission to jerk.

Usually what that means is that the transmission has to be rebuilt for the problem to go away, but in the meantime, when it happens again, immediately pull the car over and wait for 1 minute, and then return back to the road to your destination.

Remove plug wires from coil packs and check for rust. That is a common problem, which can be cleaned with a wire brush.

I have had the same problems. And I was told that when the car shakes like that, it could be the throttle system. I have a 1999 Grand Am. It could be clogged.
