Q: The car keeps shaking
Yesterday as I was driving home, the car was fine and as soon as I drove into my driveway the check engine light came on and the car started to shake as I slowly pulled into the driveway. I noticed the shaking and put the car into reverse and slowly let my foot off of the gas pedal. As the car began to slowly reverse, the shaking continue. It's a vibration type shaking. I drove to autozone to get it scanned and it said that it's a misfire with the engine and the guy said I should change my spark plugs and should be fine. Today, I changed my spark plugs and the cars vibrates a little harder than before. Any suggestions?
