I pulled out of my g/f driveway after being away for a day. I thought that my clutch had gone or something because the car just started basically shaking and there was almost no power to get it going. When I discovered the clutch was Ok and just let it idle the car has a slight shake and it sounds like its about to stall. I thought maybe I got some bad gas or something but I think its more than that. I just don't know why that would happen without warning. Any suggestions? Maybe a vaccum leak? <--- is this an easy/expensive repair? 1995 Contour GL (V6, 5-Speed)with lots of add ons! SVT parts: dual exhaust, sway bar, brakes, and 17" wheels. Eibach lowering springs. Sound system with component speakers and a 12" Pyle sub.

Maybe bad ingition module or ignition module. Also, the insulation on the wires may be crumbling off, as is mine and many others. If you have under 100K miles, you maybe in luck.
