Sounds like an engine misfire, One of the cylinders isn't firing correctly, You could have a bad spark plug or injector, but that year sunfire were known for faulty ignition coils. If the shake was severe enough it would indicate a coil issue because 2 out of you 4 cylinders aren't firing properly (a coil controls spark to 2 cylinders at a time). To be sure have it checked out at a garage, if the check engine light is on have it scanned at a large parts retailer (usually for free) or at a locate reliable garage. It would better determine the cause of the shaking.

You need to have the fault codes read with a OBD2 code reader or scanner, that is how you find out what system in the computer controlled engine is acting up.

Sorry to say but if you have to put in a quart of oil a day then you have a major problem. Sounds like you have ruined the engine. It could be seizing up.

Steering and real bad vibration in front end

That is known as "the death wobble" for very obvious reasons. You need to install steering dampeners . They look like shocks and they mount between the drag link and the frame. They will cure the problem. Don't delay putting them on your Jeep. Hope this helps.

Sounds like a mass air flow problem. It's located somewhere between the air filter and intake, but usually right after the air filter box.
Check to see that the big rubber hose there isn't cracked or ripped, check to see if the mass air flow wires aren't frayed or broken or disconnected.
Start with that, and ur check engine light must be on as well.
