    is the shaking from as you are stopping at a stop light or while you are sitting at the stop light??

    Is your car fully warmed up? My car has the "SHAKES" for the first 5-15 minutes during the winter months.

    If you put it in NEUTRAL while at a stop position, do the shakes go away?

    get rid of the egr and pcv and you wont need to clean tb's anymore =P

    if tb cleaning doesnt work..unscrew the BISS on the TB a few turns to raise the idle up and your car will stop shaking.

    The PCV is the palstic or metal piece in the valve cover with the little hose going to it.
    Check your spark plugs and wires.

    Not how fast your car goes but how good u drive going fast.

    When all else fails, look for the simple solutions. My 6G had the same problem. Have you replaced the fuel filter lately? If it's clogged or dirty (as mine was), it will cause the engine to chug. Replace it, it's about $15 for a new filter. Also, check the air filter.

    If that was the case, putting it in neutral wouldnt change much because the filter would still be clogged =P

    Not to call BS, but for some reason my 6G seemed OK when driving...it just chugged when at a stoplight, but when the fuel filter was changed, it ran like new.
