When i started my car one morning, the car started vibrating. Maybe it was cold and it was out of gas might be the problem, i thought. I parked my car after few blocks and i discovered the smell. like burning fuel smell. i put gas half tank and hoping that the car won't vibrate but it still does. Any idea?
I would guess that one or more of the spark plugs, or spark plug (high tension leads) have failed. That would cause the engine to run uneven , off balance,and create fuel vapours due to unburned fuel.
Worse case scenario it could be leak on fuel injectors or fuel line, if possible have some turn engine over with hood open, if you can see or smell fresh fuel, get professional assistance as this is a extreme fire hazard.

Hi this could be a very simple thing like the wheels need balancing very cheap and easy job,, failing that have the wheel bearings looked at, but most likely needs wheels balanced.
Hope this helps

Sounds a lot like a wheel balance problem, Does vibration go away over 55? In checking driveshaft joints...If you looked at them with the vehicle in park with the wheels on the ground, the shaft is "loaded" and cannot be correctly checked. To do this properly, vehicle should be in neutral with both rear wheels off the ground. Sometimes a joint can appear to be tight but still be bad. Check for traces of powdered rust around the rubber boots right where the end caps meet the cross on the inside. Any rust there indicates lack of grease and the likelyhood that the joint is frozen.
Check both balance and joints. Good luck.

Have your motor mounts checked very soon. This only shows in reverse because reverse causes a backward torque than the engine does in forward gear.

Not a tune up problem,
You need to have all U-joints checked out,They will give you the vibrations only while acceleration

The "Death Wobble" is a creative term coined by Jeep owners that
describes a situation when the front axle begins violently oscillating,
causing the car to shake (or wobble) in a manner which makes the vehicle
hard to control.
The death wobble is a simple problem without a simple solution.
Essentially the wobbling is your suspension system is out of
equilibrium. Unfortunately there are many areas in the suspension
system, including the tires and the body, that could be causing the
problem:
A couple main reasons this problem is mostly isolated to Jeeps: first,
many Jeeps are coil-sprung with a track bar setup and secondly, a lot of
Jeep owners get their Jeeps lifted or modified or have after-market
track bars installed. Jeep models affected by this design are: the
Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Wrangler. If it's any consolation (I know
it's not) this problem also occurs in some Ford and Dodge trucks,
especially older Broncos.
Obviously, to fix the wobble you need to know what's causing it. The
best way to do that (although frustrating) is to go through the common
causes one-by-one until you find it. Let's start small and work our way
up:
