   was driving along the road and then my car just started sounding like a scrambler! or remember when you used to put a crushed can on the back wheel of your bike to ake it sound like a motor bike. its like that!! engines shaking when i rev too. is it possible the timings out? or just a spark plug change? its seriously lacking power. think it could be bad though.

   i doubt its timing, you probs wouldnt get it to run as it would bend all valves etc.
   
   upload a video and post it on here. you will get much more help then as people understand whats happening.
