Answer
Chris,
Make sure there are not any vacuum leaks. Clean the fuel injectors and put good gas in. Sometimes the motor mounts get so weak they sag and the the motor is touching the frame so you feel all the vibration, worth checking. Did you have fault codes that might have led to aome other fault? Like Constant Idle speed motor, fuel trim, MAF sensor?
