Hello guys, I am having a problem with my engine shaking. My radiator hose came off yesterday and fluid got over the engine. Now my engine temperature gets hot really fast and it shakes when i start the car. Can somebody help me out and tell me if it is possible that i may just need to change the distributor coil, or if the gasket could be blown.

Are you checking it with a friend or by yourself? Does it sound like metal on metal when it's shaking? Does the radiator hose clip shake loose while idling? It's possible that the engine mount may be bad, but it's hard to know for sure.

Definitely check all your engine mounts. The engine is probably over-heating because of all that coolant that you lost when the hose came loose. You have to fill the engine & radiator up with more coolant.
Use Honda Genuine Coolant and turn the heater on all the way and fill up with coolant and bleed the cooling system.
You could also have a severe misfire in your engine that could be causing all that shaking...Although that severe would most likely cause a Check Engine Light.

After refilling the coolant, good idea to bleed the air out too.
