Try cleaning the idle air controller, its the small guy under the throttle body held by three bolts, if not change and also clean the intake port on the throttle body, that should help

91 Acura Integra automatic grinds when placed in gear, shutters and shakes when driving?

Shuddering and shaking indicates that something is out of balance. In normal circumstances this would be attributed to out of balance wheels, worn steering joints or a worn coupling on a propshaft.

Grinding when put into gear may indicate that the torque converter in the autobox is worn and/or out of balance.

It's not a good idea to drive the car if it shudders and shakes as you're likely to cause further damage to something. The most sensible option would be to ask a workshop for a diagnosis first.

My Mitsubishi Chariot Grandis gdi wont start, it attempts but fails. what is the problem? My battery is new,got enough fuel and the plugs are also new

You say that it attempts but fails. If it turns over, at a normal speed and tries to start and doesn't, check that the fuel is good and new fuel. Not fuel that has been in the tank for a long time. Check the fuel filter to see if it is clogged, Check the fuel injectors to see if they are all spraying fuel and there is enough pressure in the fuel lines. Check fuel pump for proper fuel pressure. High mileage engines check for compression in each cylinder. Possible bad ignition wires or ignition timing is off. Has the engine been steam cleaned recently. Is there water in the fuel? This gives you some things to check. Good luck.
