Default problem with my GS300

Ok I have a 1993 GS300 and the problem I have is my car is shaking when I am in "D" stopped. It is also kinda shaky as I accelerate and it is only like that under 2K RPM, but everytime I stop at the light and I am standing my car would shake pretty bad. What could it be. Anyone else experienced this? Thank you

Sounds like an ignition issue. When was the last plugs/cap/wires/rotor?

No I have not done anything except replaced the following things. I just left it at my mechanic and he will check it out and I will let you know. What kind of signs would car have if your engine is going bad??????????

I had a similar issue and my car had the same mileage.It turned out to be a bad ecu..Try to get your hands on an ECU and see if it fixes the problem..Before replacing the ecu I did a complete tune up and replaced all 3 mounts.Now my car idles and runs like a new car..

Dario,

Johnee is right. Although I own a 96 GS. My Ford sorry ) had the same problem and it was the ECU. Try to get your hands on an ECU. They are fairly cheap at around $100.00-$200.00
