Okay, I own a 2002 Millenia S with the SC. The reason your car is doing that is because it is getting ready to start going into "limp mode", meaning the car will do that or completely cut off. To make it home, just pull over, shut off the car and restart and that will fix it until you're home. Then it happens because oil has broken the seal of your valve cover gaskets and is now slowly filling oil into your spark plug chamber and soaking it. The way to resolve... Snap photos and unplug the top. Take off the throttle body and intake. Pull manifold... Then pull valve covers. Drain... New gasket... Also I'd recommend some rev around the spark plug holes to extra seal. Then put back together...
Questions? Just ask - I just did this over the weekend... It's my birthday and I'm sharing this knowledge... like if it helps you out.

Did you ever fix the car? My car shakes only under acceleration. If I push the gas, it shakes bad... It goes well and has plenty of power. If I take my foot off the gas, it doesn't shake at all. I just bought it and thought it would be easy fix... but I'm not so sure now. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
