Question Car shaking?

So yeah, i dont know why, but after i start my car, it begins to shake. Its tough to figure out what the cause is, as it can be multiple things...but what could it be that would make it shake like that? Ive heard something about a crankshaft? maybe a tune up? i have no clue...

Probably a bad sensor or a misfire. My car shook real bad when the engine was misfiring.

Misfire most likely. Give the poor engine a tune up.

Do you have a CEL? If so what is the code?

It's the light on the dash that looks like an engine. Cel = check engine light. If the light is on then you need a code reader to check and see what's wrong with it. It'll give you a 6 digit code that starts with a PO and the 4 numbers after that. That code will allow you to figure out what system needs to be worked on.

Go to Autozone or Checker. They'll read the code for you for free.
