Car Vibrates Hard when Parked!!!!
I just recently changed the oil, threw some seafoam in gas tank, cleaned maf with TB cleaner changed fuel filter and TRIED cleaning egr valve but failed Ohhh also changed the Egr Temp Sensor since i broke it. The Egr Sensor was replaced with one from a junk yard maxi. So i just decided to quit and put everything back. Now the car when parked vibrates and i could really feel it. It also vibrates when im at a stop light. But the car drives fine. What did it do wrong?? Can somone help??? Im taking a long trip tomorrow and i want to go in the safest conditions with my family onboard Thanks alot

1. Any Idiot Lights? Pull Codes.
2. Unplug your MAF, Start your Engine, Does Problem Persist?
3. Check Throttle Position Sensor resistance. 500 when Full Closed 4000 When WOT.
4. Misfiring? Pull coils, One At A Time.

Well, for starters you click the link '98 FSM' in my sig and download the Factory Service Manual.
Than you either use the Factory Methodology or the one i shamelssly ripped from SKORPiO. Thanks SKORPiO.

POS to spark plug and NEG to 1 -- should show infinite resistance
POS to 1 and NEG to spark plug -- should show infinite resistance
Connector number 3 is a trigger and is not measurable.
Connector:
___|--|___
| 3 | 2| 1 |

If any coil shows otherwise than it sould be replaced.
If I remeber correctly, the resistance between pin 1 and 2 was about 16- 21 ohms on my 96' but dont quote me on that. I did it long time ago.
Hope it helps.
