If I drive between 55 and 65 my car shakes from the front end. I replaced all the motor mounts, rebuilt the starter. I would put the car into drive after starting it and it dies and I have to restart it. There is a gas oder when I stop or start to go. Cant find a gas leak. My drivers side tire when it is up in the air will move up and down and side to side. Which prob explains the shakes. And idea as to what is wrong with my car? I have asked everyone I know and cant frind an answer. Thank you

Sounds like you have a bad tire, try moving the fronts to the back and see if that helps. Due to miles and age have apro look at ithis for a fuel leak. That would mean the whole system back to front. Change your fuel filter and clean the throttle plate on both sides with choke cleaner and the oblong hole where the iac is and see if that helps your idle problem.
