engine trouble
so today i started the car and i think i blew something. it was running in the drive way for about 10 mins, and when i was pulling out the car backfired twice, it sounded like a shotgun went off, i was seriously waiting for the cops to show up it was that loud!!! anyway i pulled the car back in, opened the hood and the engine was shaking the whole car. anyway i shut if off, but i think it is time for a rebuild since the car sounds totally different now. what do you guys think?
BTW
merry Christmas everyone!!

Take a sensible approach. If it ran well before the incident and you touched nothing then it could of just been rich from idling so long and simply backfired. These cars do this from time to time. Start by checking for codes ( Ten/Ground and then ign on ). No codes, then start it back up. Continues to do it, then as the gentleman above suggested, pull the plugs and check for fouling. If fouled, clean or replace. Also check for a rich environment - air filter element. Report back on what you found

+1 on checking the plugs. are you running stock plugs? cause plug foul has been comming up alot lately, and the culprit ends up being them running 11 and 12's when they should only be running 8 or 9's. if you end up pulling the plugs..let us know what they look like (discoloration? buildup?)
