angry engine.

I bought a 90 GXL last friday. the engine didnt stay on and the transmission is blown. today i figured out why it wouldn't stay on. someone put on a cone filter and left the air pump hose off with fowm stuck down it. i ghetto rigged my S4s air box on and success, but my new major problem is the engine shakes violently. if i tap the gas it shakes the dash in the car. anyone know what may be causing this problem? thanks

If it sat, check compression.

You may have a stuck seal which can be freed. Try searching "stuck seal".
