my lumina will start up in the morning and drive fine untill it heats up to operating temperture, probaly about 10 minutes after its at operating temp i will start getting shakes when i try to accelerate, they start weak and very short bursts, but the longer i drive sometime i cant even accelerate at all, my car will just shake violently at say...15 mph, i changed the spark plugs, wires, coil pack was tested, its fine, removed catalytic converter, new head gasket, lower intake gasket, cam sensor...and i think thats it, please let me know this is getting bad

i'd check to see if you have a lifter collapsiong. it may be doing that or you may have a trans problem transfering to the engine. Have a pro look at it as that needs to have a human touch to it...
