Engine shakes Whenever i am driving and theres a situation to where i go to temporarily speed up the engine seems to struggle on doing so. as if its shaking a little bit.

SOURCE: Nissan Sentra "Service Engine Soon" and uncontrolable shaking.

could be a number of things with the check engine light on,from what you are describing though, I am going to sugest you look for vacum leaks, broken hoses and such and also listen for a wistling sound. I also had this happen to me but on diffrent type of car, and it was the hose that went to my pcv valve.

replace the EGR valve

sounds like the fuel pressure regulator but first try new fuel filter and maybe clean spark plugs and reset them

The check engine light is telling you the computer is detecting a problem from one or several sensors. You will need to have someone use a scanner to pull the codes. Places like auto zone offer this service for free(they want to sell you parts). Once you find out the codes then you can try and determine what the problem is. Could be anything from a bad plug wire to a plugged fuel filter.

SOURCE: My car shakes at idle speed of 800 rpm, doesn't

old engine mounts can cause that problem, even if they look ok sometimes
