i need help...urgently, car seems to stalk when idling... Options

[lubu]

well i got a yellow sticker for it!!!

its because --> bluelights at the back license, oil leaks and shaking at idle...i need to go over the pit really soon and i havent got a clue why it shakes. I was thinking the alternator but apparently thats not it (or so i think), not the idle control valve either, took it to my mechanic and he doesnt have a clue!!!!! The weird thing is though when cold it doesnt shakes, only shakes when the car is warm.

I already changed the light colour and cleaned up the oil in the engine compartment, im not gonna fix the oil leaking(Im assuming its leaking from the timing belt area and the rea main seal) as it requires take whole engine out and i just dont have time for that..but im stumped at the shaking prblem..

Can anyone help me on this??

no its a 5sfe..its like a gt in US...well because it shook so bad so i had to shift to neutral in order to minimize the shake. Really IM stumped..i havent do anything to the engine yet coz im swapping a 3sgte in soon so there is no point in tuning it up...

Well, I don't know what to tell you bro. Becuz the distributor is the most expensive part of a tune-up ($200+) I'd just go to a junkyard and pull out a used one for now for about $30 and use that for now. Honestly, would you rather have the car keep messing up on you while you drive and eventually stop working? Or would you rather have it reliable till you can do the whole swap?
