VT Berlina wagon shaking like a shaggy dog

[Tony Sweet]

Hi everyone
Can some one please tell me some reasons why my VT wagon has suddenly started shaking upon acceleration and "missing". Once ir gets uo around 70 to 80 kph it will stop. Took it for a trip from Bris to Coolangatta today and blew out some cobwebs as it usually a suburban beast only. Shook on the way back, bought some engine flush on the way home but still doing it.
Any suggeations from anyone what it might be? I am thinking a tune up however it shouldn't suddenly start shaking without warning, should it?

It is most likely to be a bad spark plug or lead.

My old vr was doing this.... It was like missing....Changed the spark plug all good

1.check that the leads are on all of the plugs properly.
2.check plugs
3.check leads
4.check coils.

I'd bet on it being one of those.

Sparks were dirty but otherwise okay. Ended up being the leads. Got them all changed
