Hi, I have a 1990 olds ciera, the engine is shaking, I guess you would call it a miss, the coil pack, spark plugs, and wires have been replaced but its still shaking can anyone tell me what it could be? Thanks

The car is running rough like its missing, no broken motor mounts.

there is no distribator because it has a coil pack, it also has a crank sensor instead of timing.

Thanks everyone, I took it to a shop it was the number 6 injector, but I will watch for bad gas.

You need to get it to a reputable shop and have it thourally checked.You could have a "miss" caused by bad valves or valve timing.Make sure you did not cross plug wires(hook wrong wire to wrong plug).You may have weak compression in one or more cylinders.There are a miriad of things that can cause an engine to "miss".

You can start off by changing the breather filter and inspecting the vacumm lines and chaging out the pvc valve.If this does not cure the problem then you need to inspect the distributor cap and rotor under the cap.If this is okay then check the motor mounts and make sure the rubber cushion is not worn out or possibly just missing a bolt.The next step if none of the above help would be to put a timing light on it and set the timing.You may also want to change the fuel filter and pull a fuel pressure test on it to make sure the fuel supply is sufficient for the vehicle to operate smoothly.
