How's about schitt-canning the attitude, Mark made an honest suggestion that I have seen people overlook many times.

How can you expect anyone to provide much help over a basic suggestion without knowing what year/engine you have? Have you done a full tune up before you started it after it sat for so long? Any trouble codes? Checked the fuel pressure?

There's enough variables in it that you will have to eliminate some of them before anyone can provide a better answer than bad gas. Just my $0.02.

Sorry, usually I don't get rude with people, but maybe if you learned how to spell and use grammar your sentences would be a little clearer.

Even though you are as rude as he!!, I'll try given some more help. Definately do a tune up. As you do that, check the condition of the spark plug wires, I have had 2 wires burn from laying on the headers and caused a shuttering problem.

Hard to have a torque converter and a flywheel on the same car...assuming it's an automatic, you could look for cracks in the flexplate and loose torque converter bolts. Also try replacing the O2 sensor, setting the TPS, and having the transmission flushed really good since I suppose some gunk could have collected in the converter over the extended rest of the car.

Thanks Jethro for the idea that gunk could have collected in the converter over the extended rest of the car.I did a tranny flush but did not solve my problem so I am going to pull the inspection plate off and pull the torque back from the motor to see if the vibration is still there. Thanks once again Jethro for bringing yourself past all that was said and helping me with my car, not my spelling or grammar

See how much easier it is to understand what you are writing when you spell things right.

Wood,

Maebee u cud pul da drane plug on the phorkin' tork converter when u get da inspekshun cuvver offa der, an' try to git da big goobers of transmishun flewid goop outta der. Three yeers uv jus' sittin' der couldn'ta dun da transmishun enny good.

Da udder thing u mite wanna cunsider is dat summa da injecters and silinders arun't runnin' at a hunnert percent, an' may not manifest there problums until u get a good lode on dem. I'm thinkin' dat u coulda got da car runnin' a little bit to get it good an' hot, den changed the transishun oil, checkd da enjun oil, make shure da fule preshure is rite, an' start diagnosin' whutever problums you find won atta time. I'd bee a little 'frayed of runnin' around a lot wif dat much vibrashun myself, so Eye no why u r consernd about it.

Eye think ewe threw summa da members off base a little wif da spelling and dickshun in yer posts. Summa da responses an' posts we sea arunt very kleer sum times, so ewe can excuse summa da members cunfuzed replys. It can bee as hard to reed as ALL CAPS sum times, but Eye learnt to speek Canuk u long time ago, so Eye no where yor cummin' frum.
