Could someone please help?
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.
