Only vibrates in reverse? engine only dies in reverse? Check engine light on? has it been on recently and gone back off? When you say vibrates, like the engine is missing or it just feels rougher than normal?

Can you keep it running by giving it gas or does it die regardless? Does the engine turn slow when you crank it? Has it ever been tuned up? If it does run with gas, does it still vibrate? Is or has the check engine light been on?
