car vibrating
As I was driving this evening, I stopped for a light and the car started vibrating. The rpm's are only at 5. When I speed up it gets better but is not good. The car shaks. What is wrong?
It is a 95 with 36,400 miles

An engine knock is usualy caused by a failed bearing in the rotating assembly somewhere, and is a sign of impending doom....really bad.
The trouble you are experincing can be any number of things, a bad coil pack, bad gasoline, the throttle body could be on its way out, or even a bad motor mount. This is not going to be something you can diagnose on a forum, there are many things that could cause the car to idle poorly.

An earlier post recommended that this is difficult to diagnose on a forum, and I agree. I will say I had a similar experience that turned out to be a loose vaccuum line...and the car did not throw any codes...good luck!
