Any Ideas? Car 'shakes' above ~40mph...
Hi guys, I have this strange problem, just started this weekend...
If I am going about ~30-40 local and I feel the car seemingly vibrate or stutter or it just seams as if there's something loose- either in the tranny or motor (sorry to sound so vague and non-technical, I can't really explain what it really is) It's only when I gas... If I gas around 30+, I notice it, however if I push it to neutral, but it goes away, so that eliminates any sort of wheel balance/bend etc. I only notice this vibration when I gas, and it seems that it's coming from the motor.
Only things that I can think of that happened recently is that I notice some oil leaking from the head/block area (where the block code is) don't think it's the cam seal- that was replaced about a year ago. Not losing too much oil, as I keep checking that it is good. Other than that, the only other thing is I changed the steering rack about 4 months ago, nothing else.
I ran a search, thinking it might be the head gasket, but not sure if it is it... I will take a look at the dist & plugs also.
Any idea's?
Thanks in advance!

This happened last night, I didn't get to check any of those, but I did suspect it to be it.
I am going to just try to change the plugs tonight first.
Last night, I just did a visual inspection of anything around the wheels and such that may get caught...
The driver side mount is worn, but it's been like that without any issues...
THanks again s1ngle!

I just changed the plugs, even though they are about a year old....results...same problem. The wires were also about a year old.
Tried using a fuel injection cleaner (pour into the gas tank) nothing...
So far, it sounds pretty close to this guy's situation:

This is getting annoying that I have no idea what this is...
I am running a B series motor.
