I want to be able to operate my car safely again. I replaced coolant and wanted to know if I have a bigger situation than a coolant refill. The front of the engine is shaking, and I think crankshaft is being affected because I had to push my vehicle over to a parking lot before work.

The engine will shake if the idle speed is too low, or you have a misfire which causes the engine to stall at idle. But to be sure if you can upload a short video of the problem, I can see for sure what's going on so we can fix it.

Here are two guides to help us get started:

Please go over these guides and report back.
