Car’s shaking, need your help!

Hey guys, need your help! I just went out, started my car, wormed it up and took off. I made a stop at the light and the entire all of the sudden car started to shake ( kind of reminded me of a fan with a blade missing, out of balance…)
. I quickly pulled around the block back to my house, parked it and turned it off.
Then started it up again, after a few seconds running it stared to shake again and “service engine soon” light went on. Meanwhile RPM’s were normal, at around 700. I’ve changed my starter last week and 2 days ago I’ve added Chevron fuel injector cleaning fluid to a full tank of gas. That’s about it. So before I’ll try to drive it to my mechanic, tell me what problem could this be.

Update: turns out i had 3 cylinder misfire yesterday. Car was running good today, although “service engine” light was still on. Went to my shop and changed the ignition coil. I was told that at 80k+ it’s a common problem for nissans…..

So did the new coil pack(s) solve the problem?
