bad shaking

[Heartbeat_of_94]

i have a 1994 3.4 L automatic Camaro and since i got back from home (started Monday) my car has been shaking and rattling really bad or at least it is on the inside. when i start it, its ok, but once i put my foot on the accel, it starts to shake. its shakes until i'm over 2000 rpm in every gear and it won't shift unless its over 2500 rpm most of the time. any ideas what could be wrong? is it just the cold weather?

cold weather wouldnt do that....especially the weather you get in alabama

i'm in Jackson, TN right now and the temp got down to 31 last night and it was like 41 this morning so its not the normal october weather of the south i don't think.

Check the spark plug wires for condition also to see if they have perhaps came off of a plug, check your spark plugs. My '94 3.4 Auto did the same thing as yours and it was a wire that had worn completely apart, so I replaced all with MSD 8.5MM's and now everything is cool.

I would guees that a plug wire or sparkplug went bad. Possibly an injector or something else went, but start out with the cheap repairs first.

ok thanks guys. thats exactly what i thought it was too. i just got new spark plugs but the wires haven't come in yet so they are on their way. so hopefully when i get those then all this will clear up. thanks a LOT guys!

It could be plug wires or some other weak component of the ignition system. It might seem fine when it's warm out, but then when cold weather hits that weak part makes the ignition system weak enough to show up.
