could be a fuel filter... depending on the vehicle, $30-250

it almost sounds like a combination of problems.. Faulty injectors? Bad radiator core? Transmission problems..?

^^ its nothing that major, he would be having a lot more problems if it were something that big.

If your ****** is slipping, youd also notice that, does it only do it at certain times, liek when it goes into a certain gear (if its an automatic) if so, then you need a ****** rebuild, have fun loseing $800

x2..What kind of shake would you say.Does it feel like the whole front end is going into convultions?

well its like a q uick shake like bursts of fuel or something like someone said misfiring. and my ****** only goes outta gear some times when i stop. and i wouldnt think it was the fuel filter or lines because it onl does it at like 1/2 acceleration when im on like speeds of 45+

Well if it was missing, it would jerk you all around, not just short shakes, it could very well be your fuel filter, your open the throttle body to let more air in, but no gas is getting in there to mix with it, casuseing those short shakes, until enough gas is trying to be forced through the line, to get through that bad filter, i would try the fuel filter first, its going to be your cheapest of all the things listed to get fixed.

Could also be wheel ralated things, probably at the end of the list of possabilities, but you could need new rotors, or just need them turned if you dont want to buy new ones, could need more inner or outer, or both wheel bearings, etc...
