Well, try to be a little more specific. Did the whole car vibrate? There could be a number of things wrong. Or it could just be that you need oil.

the whole car was shaking

It could be the alternator. Might wanna have it taken in for a diagnostic to be sure.

hm....maybe a very low idle...?

[jer28usa]

I would tend to think its an idle thing. Do you have a tach to see what the car is idling at? It should be around 700 RPM"s for a manual transmission.

maybe his tires are so unbalanced that they still make his car shake even when it's not moving. Sorry, had to add a stupid comment.

How would I turn the idle up?

When last time did you do tune up to your car?

[shortysdrop]

Well theres tons of possibilities: the idle is off, plugs got wet which happens a lot to b13 sentras, catalytic converter trying to plug up, motor mount busted.

Try checking your belts, check your motor mounts, watch your tach if you have one, listen for internal knock, check your plugs wires and rotor,vacuum lines too.

Let us know what you find
