I went outside yesterday to start it since its so cold. When I tried to start it it cranked over and then stopped so I tried it again same thing. I tried once more it started but then the engine started to shake and it sounded like all the piston was not moving. So I figured it was time for a tune up since I haven't had one. I changed all 12 spark plugs tried it again same thing cranks over then stops, and then engine shakes for awhile then stops.
Any advice on what it is or could be? Its funny because I just paid it off 2 weeks ago!!!!LOL

Your cats might be clogged. Take it to a muffler shop and have them checked. Or it could be a sticky injector. I just read about a guy having a problem like that.

If you continue to crank at it, it will lock up into limo mode. And will lock your engine from starting at all. I had to trailer my car. 50 dollars from uhaul. Way cheaper then a tow truck.
