Car has been running great since I changed the PCV valve, then yesterday, I go to a friends birthday party and she starts haveing a horrid rough idle.
To be more exact, I was in the process of trying to park, in a cul-de-sac and kept messing up my line up on the street, and swapped between drive and reverse about 6 times, before she started to shake real bad and act up. This morning I changed the sparks thinking that might have been the issue, nope that wasn't it. And after some other routine checks, I am at a loss of understanding of whats going.
She shakes at idle, and when getting up to speed around 30 as well, haven't dared gone passed that yet, with the shaking for fear of causing something worse to happen. Before this I would get her up to 45 or higher regularly without fear.
Any help is appreciated, and if you need any more information I will be happy to help.
