Hey guys maybe you can help me out I have no clue what this could be.

My car shakes really bad if I accellerate from a stop very slowly. The vibrations are so strong they rattle the entire front dash and sounds horrible. What could this be? It occurs every time I accellerate slowly and dont rev the engine up past 2k before letting out the clutch.
 
what have you checked? Have you currently installed something/removed someting. It could be alot of things. Start with the basics though, plugs/condition/gapped properly, wires/condition/contact with plug and coil, boost leaks. :thumb: :talon:
 
I bought the car and it had this problem but it was not so bad. The seller told me it was from bad motor mounts and gave me new ones but I have not installed them yet. I had the car looked at and was told the mounts were not that bad. I know my timing belt is off slightly and will be getting that fixed in the next month. Would that cause this shaking?
 
I think you should start with the motor mounts...specially since the dude gave em to ya. You'd be suprise how annoying a bad mount is.
