What could cause a 1994 V6 3.0 Toyota Camry to stall out and shake violently?
one mechanic said it might be an igniter box problem...??
It starts and runs fine for about 3 mins and then begins to shake. The shaking continues until the car suddenly dies, which is within 5 mins.

Did the mechanic who said it was the igniter box look at the car first?
Does it smoke at all, especially when it chugs? If so, I know exactly what it is, and it ain't good... I had a 1993 Lexus ES300, which is almost the same as a Camry, and it suddenly started doing that -- turned out it had a blown head gasket. $2000 to fix that SOB. I hope it's something else.

As stated before, this is far to little information to even hazard any kind of a guess. So many things can cause symptoms like that, and everyone has a different definition of what they think a shimmy, shake, stall, squeak, whine, whirr, buzz, pop, click, thud, bang, grind, rubbing, growling, etc. is. So, sorry, but without more details of what it does, when it does it, when it doesn't do it, and more of that nature, we cannot even guess.

WAY too little info, but first guess is a fuel flow problem.
