I have a '94 Honda Accord. Recently, it has started making a foul, almost burnt-rubber smell for the entirety of the car being on. Also, whenever I turn on the A/C, the vehicle shakes. It also shakes sometimes without any provocation. Thanks for any help.

Sounds like you have a misfire issue. When's the last time you did a tune-up?

The smell may be un-burnt fuel hitting your hot catalytic convertor. It may also be an oil leak, or a shredding belt (but you would hear the belt squeel)
