Does it shudder or shake when you load the motor while driving it? I just went through a miss a couple days ago after installing a new motor. Turns out my UVC gasket wasn't completely plugged in, and wasn't sending voltage to one injector. You can take the IDM out and Ohm out each injector. I would start there. Its not hard to do. And this is if its throwing the "P1316 IDM fault code".

Refer back to this ^

Check your Undervalve Cover Gaskets for a loose or faulty connection.

only shaking its doing is because the tires, its running good enough to drive now, you can tell it has a slight miss or something, but i will check that

actually when i sit in it when its idling, it seems to vibrate more then i remember, thoughts on that?

seems to run fine at high rpm while driving but low or idling you can tell

could be the miss... OR could be the engine mounts were moved a bit...

pulled the cover and what do you know? a wire off the injector, runs perfect now, thanks for pointing that out!

If you haven't rewelded the x member then that would cause shaking. But it might even shake with it rewelded just cause it's not factory
