Question type: Maintenance & Repair


whenever i am accelerating on the gas in my
car, its gives me a bad shake. As soon as I
take my foot off the gas, the shaking stops. I
have had all of my tires replaced and

Sounds like it is misfiring when you get on it. Have it checked for error codes or inspected for faults in the ignition system (plugs, wires, dist cap, rotor, ignition module, etc). Also could be a sensor issue like MAF or TPS. The sensor faults should show with a code check.
