SOURCE: RPM gauge

the wire that runs from the engine to the rpm Gage has been severed. you will need to take it in for repair.

SOURCE: while driving fine at low speed it shook and

get a trouble code from Autozone or other store for free. It sounds like a sensor problem to me. The Idle Position sensor for example.

2004 liberty 107000 miles. Engine runs rough at 2000-2500 RPM causing steering wheel and gas pedal vibration. plugs due to be changed.what else could cause this rough engine

I think you are on the right track with a tune up. Replace the wires, air filter and oil as well. I also would run a cleaner through the fuel lines. An STP or a Lucas would be better.

Acceleration won't go past 3000 PRM at idle

The car does have a maf, but it is rarely the cause of rough idle. Rough idle is usually caused by vacuum leak, pvc issues, or idle air control valve. What does it do, specifically, and is the engine light on?

1993 3.4l camaro Idles fine when first started. After a few seconds it idles rough and rpm drops. No power when driving. RPM will not go above 3000 even if floored when driving.

there are a few reasons to ur problems 1st check and or replace fuel filter -check and or service egr valve -carbon usually builds up in and around valve causing rough idle -no power and can cause non start problem ---also air filter - fuel pump-bad gas -timing skip-pcv valve-catalytic converter clogging these are some of the problems usually one of the first 2 is the problem good luck
