| Shaking... so,,, my truck shakes when its idleing and when its running, but it stops shaking when i accelorate above approx. 4,000rpm's. Also when its idleing i can watch the RPM needle jump up and down a couple of hundred rpm's. i thought it was the spark plugs, so i replaced them. but it didn't fix it. could it be the timing???? please help... |

| oh yeah, i forgot to let you know what kind of truck it is. it's a '93 nissan p/u, 4x4, se v6, at, with 70k mi. the last time it had a full tune up was before i bought it, so it would be like a year and a half. |

| A failing plug wire(s) will have similar effects on engine performance. Sometimes even a small amount of carbon inside of the cap, or even a cracked cap may be the gremlin. |
