What i can say to you is : actually, i looked at :
  • Vacuum leaks : I had one and corrected it but i still have the shaky problem
  • replaced fuel filter : nothing changed
  • replaced sparks : nothing changed
  • replaced air filters : nothing changed
  • i don't have any "CEL" (check engine light) appearing while the engine shakes/stall/dies
For me, the symptoms seems to be worse while the engine is in hot state.
This could be psychologic because at cold state @idle, the engine is running at higher RPMs than at hot state @idle.
But, i can confirm that when i put the 1st gear and let the vehicle on idle, i can feel the same shakings.

At higher RPMs this problem must still be present, but, as the RPMs are higher, it is diminished.


You could try to replace the ignition coils from your side.
Like this we can work in a intelligent way of solving our problem (and helping other people that runs into the same situation).

I will have the crankshaft position sensor delivered soon, so, after changing these 2 sensors, i will be able to tell if YES OR NO, these sensors were problematics.


Keep me in touch and follow this topic !
Hey, it does sound like the same problem i'm having, and thanks. i will check this thread again in a day or so, but if you don't post please email me at herr7933@yahoo.com, and if it works out for you i'll definitely give that a try.
