Engine just started shaking while idling and driving gets worse while A/C is running, but air comes and goes hot to cold.

First make sure the engine is not overheating, if okay I would start by replacing the spark plugs and cleaning the throttle bore. Here are two guides to help us get started with diagrams below to show you how it will be for your car:

and

Disconnected the battery before removing the throttle body.

Check engine light on?

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken
