Default shakey starts??!!

my 2000 five speed v6 starts like S#*% half the time. It seems almost lazy to fire up. It cranks up but will stay there and it feels like the rear end shakes when it happens. It usually does it more often when its lower on gas... after its been started a few time 20-30 mins in between.. I've had my fuel injection and filter done, theres a new battery.

Have you tried changing your sparkplugs, wires, air filter?

ok i will have to go with spark plugs, wires , and air filter. Just tune it up and see what that does .... also ur 02 sensor might be going badd or u need to get some octane boost to clean everything.

I would take a look at the fuel pump pressure as well?
