Catalic converter and egr sure will give you the shaking feel of the engine. Try to clean up the egr first, search az for diy egr clean up; it could be converter related.

99s got some free tune up parts for emission warranty
worth a read of the threads and call acura 1-800-382-2238 x5 to ask
you need the cars VIN number when you call, and current mileage reading

I have read here in gen2 threads recently that some members got cap wires etc under special emission warranty applies to 99s only.
Look thru the thread titles and call acura monday- or drop by your dealer if they are open saturday just to look in the computer to see what qualifies
Cant promise you anything about your parts, BUT you dont know until you ask
How many miles do you have- and its good title, not salvage-rebuilt title correct?
