I think my car is toast. Engine light came on the car was shaking nonstop almost put putting and I didn't have nearly the power.

Drive to my destination went fine but on the way home went to start the car and this happened. Thing felt like it was limping home the whole way. Shaking was noticeable more at lower speeds and while stopped

@SledgeHammer Agree! I've had a twenty-year old car before and it always went like a dream coz I had it serviced regularly. 🚗❤️

@Fluffybull I have a 37 year old car that I don't necessarily drive daily, but I do anytime I dont want to drive my work truck. The car is pristine though

Sounds like a blown head gasket. Just happened to me too. They’re just about finished putting in the cut out engine…turns out replacing the whole engine is $1100 less than replacing the head gasket

Sounds like coil packs/spark plugs. If the car is older it would spark plugs wires and spark plugs.

@SW-User I think you'll be pleased to know your car is most likely not toast.

@Tonydang Car is 21 years old maybe it's because of the age

About that time I had a new Nissan. A 25 cent plastic part in the carburator failed and drove like you described. Blocked air flow.

Poor thing has PTSD. Your driving sucks. Your GPS just declared, 'in 300 metres let me the f#ck out!'

🤣🤣🤣

If it's an older car, check the spark plug cable. I doubt the car is toast.
