My car is shaking as if its having seizures.. I was told I had condensation in my gas tank because of the cold weather and lack of gas in my tank. I bought some dry gas and it seemed to have fixed the problem. But, for the past week its been warm and the shacking has returned along with a stinky odor. Also, no check light engine is on.. Any thoughts???

Sounds like engine missfiring i would check compression first, spark plugs, spark plug wires, fuel presure and go from there.

After some deep diagnosis with my Scan-tool, I have fixed the issue. Of all things, it was the Coolant Temperature Sensor. I was getting a PO118 code, so I looked up the sensor, graphed it with the scanner and saw that the sensor was flaking out. It would read an avg. temp. of 190 degrees, then all of the sudden drop to -40 degrees. This sensor adjusts the fuel/air ratio, thus explains my idle speed troubles. Basically, the sensor was giving too much fuel or "flooding" the engine. I have been driving for 3-4 days now and have had 0 problems since the replacement. BTW, the sensor is located by the thermostat and can be removed with an 11/16" deep-well socket. I bought the sensor for $15 at O'Reilly Auto parts. Anyway, hope this helps someone.
