Not sure if it's the same thing, but when I replaced my plugs I had some shaking, very rough running but it was continuous. I removed the 3 coil packs from the driver side and reinstalled them, all was good again. Not quite sure what was wrong but something did not get seated properly I guess.
Hope it is that simple for you. Good luck.
This did not happen when I changed my valve cover later. But it was weird.

I have checked the coil packs and the spark plugs, I only changed the passenger side.
Dangit, could that be the issue? I didn't see any leaks from letting the car idle for ten minutes and after driving around the block

Spent my whole lunch time looking over everything again. Went to start up car again and got a nice Service Engine light. This is a bit frustrating. Will tear apart the car tomorrow.
I did notice 2 new things, when I went to go start my car this morning the crank took a while. Shut the car off, waited 5 minutes and started car again. This time it started up instantly.

Took a large part of my afternoon getting to the valve cover again, thought there was a leak in the gasket area but bone dry. Later found out that the Camshaft area was leaking and spilled down to the valve cover area. So what could have taken me 5 minutes took me a good afternoon. Drove the car to friend's house to use his ODB reader and sure enough P0011. So I have an extra valve cover gasket for sale, anyone want to trade that for a camshaft sensor gasket with o-ring?
