Question Was able to start, but the whole car shakes... Why?

Hello everyone, it has been quite some time since I last posted. Recently I've been experiencing some problems with my ride, if anybody have experienced similar problems and knows how to resolve it, the feedbacks will be greatly appreciated.
It has not been as smooth lately when I start my car; it would shake like crazy for about 10 minutes and some times the ignition would even shut off by itself. After some nasty-driving for about ten minutes the car would then become more stable. I noticed this problem every time after the car cools down for about 10~15 minutes. Has anyone on this board ever experienced similar problem? Many Thanks!

sounds like a cylinder isnt firing. Could be a bad plug, wire, or injector.

ive had the same problem except it was the mass air flow sensor on top of the throttle body... the 3 wire denso sensor that you see blended in to the valve cover all the way on the right, directly on top of the throttle body... sometimes it would work, sometimes it wouldent... no big deal to fix...
