the car is violently shaking from the turn of the key in the ignition, there are no check engine lights on. I have no clue when the last tune up was done. had full fluid levels. new air filter and belts. 02 sensor. does stall at stops sometimes (has a bad transmission now, could that be causing this problem as well?) did not pass emsstion inspection. in Maryland


Thanx

I recommend you seek out a local professional that can perform testing to diagnose the problem. It could be internal engine issues.
