I have the above car for over 2 years now. The heating coil has been replaced, however after 70 miles on the highway it shakes. It now hesitates to start in the mornings. Not sure if the IAC needs replacing or if the alternator needs to be replaced. A few months ago left the lights on in the parking lot and it wouldn't start. After about 20 minutes getting a jump it finally started. Any suggestions on why the car shakes, and is having trouble starting right away?
