Toyota Townace 1998 - Toyota Townace heating and shivering - KR-42

I have a toyota Townace KR-42 (1998) with a 7K-C engine (Automatic transmision). About 3 months ago I had a Radiator block and had to change the thermostat, gasket, and repaired the radiator. However, after I ran for some time the engine started to shiver in a way that the whole vehicle vibrates. Every day for the 1st 20 mins or so the vehicle runs smoothly but after the temperature meter raises a bit it starts to shiver and when I accelerate a bit (on neutral) the shivering stops & when I let it go the shivering sometimes stops but then again it starts all over again when I accelerate to move on the road.

Any suggestions to why this is happening and how to resolve it?

If the engine is shaking its probably down on power on one cylinder, if it only happens when its hot I would suspect a faulty injector - if its diesel that is.

Its a petrol carburettor engine

Ah, don't know much about those unless they came from a Morris minor but it sounds like an ignition problem.

But it happens after I run for some time
