My car started shaking today when I turned it on and when I pressed on the gas. Then, if I stopped at a light, it started shaking even more like it was about to turn off. I recently had my spark plugs changed, and my fluids appear to be full. However, I don't know if I need water or fuel injection. I do know that I need an oxygen sensor changed. Could this shaking be related to oxygen sensor or lack of water/fuel injector?
Thanks,
Shala

Did the check engine light come on?

Is the car shaking or is it more of a sputter?

Infiniti's are very touchy when it comes to spark plugs. If you buy cheap plugs, it will cause a misfire. The OEM plugs are platinum tipped. I know for a fact Champion plugs will cause misfires. They are cheap plugs and do not work well in the infiniti i30. I would use Bosch platinum plugs. Check the plugs and see what brand they are. If you just had them changed and this wasnt happening before, my guess is its the plugs.

If it is not the plugs, it could be a number of other things such as the air flow sensor. This often times when they go bad will cause the car to die, either when driving or stopped.
