Did you ever figure out the problem? I have a 1993 4 cyl. with the exact same symptoms. Put the accelerator on the floor and its like pushing a ton of bricks. Seems kinda smooth when in park but you put the engine under a load and it starts to shake like crazy. I changed the plug wires, plugs, coil packs (distributorless in 93), and found the timing to be set at 12 degrees. Im baffled! I took the cylinder head off and it looks like the number one cylinder hasnt been hitting. Im replacing the head but I still dont think this is going to be the end of my problems.
