Diagnose Your Car's Problem

New plugs and wires may be all that's necessary to cure the misfire. If this doesn't correct the problem, then go ahead and replace the distributor cap. Any auto parts store will carry the spark plugs, wires and likely the distributor cap for your vehicle. The procedure to replace these items is simple and can be found in any repair manual covering this vehicle. If you don't want to do the work yourself, you'll need what most garages call a "maintenance tune-up". This should cover the items mentioned above, depending on your engine and general factory recommendations. If the vehicle still shakes even after replacing the distributor cap, you could have a burned valve. Take this vehicle to a garage to confirm this and have any necessary work done
