I had the same problem!

My timing belt jump a tooth or two.. by the time I found it was the belt it had jumped enough teeth till the car wouldn't start anymore. I also had a check engine come on before the belt went for the IAC. Cleaned the IAC and it's still shaking.. need to get another IAC now as well!
