    Car Shaking/Sputtering

    Thanks guys, I think I might try with the coil packs first. How much does that cost anyways, with the way the economy is going, I don't have much money to spare on fixing my car, but I guess I have to find money somehow. Is the coil pack under $100? I might just have someone who knows...

    Car Shaking/Sputtering
