Heres the scenario...
the car has been sitting for 18 mo.
so far I have done the following:
changed oil, spark plugs, all filters, carb cleaned, battery.

I have even taken the liberty of driving the car long enough to see other minor electrical problems. Can anyone explain this deadly engine shake? I have listened to many opinoins talking about chaining it down but that isn't very intellegent. Maybe someone on here knows what else may be the problem. It shakes more and more the slower you go, and even worse when you hit the brakes... any help would be greatly appreciated thanks a bunch AF
Is this a misfire, 1 dead cyl on a 4 will cause what you describe, kill one cylinder at a time and see if you can pinpoint the suspect cylinder when the engine shake doesn't change.
