Engine Shakes While Idling

Changed the spark plugs and coils and the front mount and the side mount.

The rear mount after removing it looked to still be in good shape so I reinstalled it.

Just did an oil change and tranny fluid and filter change.

With all this it starts fine but engine still shakes at idle and needs to warm up quite a bit until goes away.

its either the wrong plugs or the rear motor mount. If the shaking is coming through the steering wheel then its the rear motor mount.

Steering wheel doesn`t shake. Spark plugs makes sense.

NGK Iridiums or Oem?

NGK iridium are correct. You can't visually say the mount is good, you have to load test it in the car. Test it under a load by standing on the brake and put car in D and rev it a little. Look for excessive engine movement. 2 person job. Pick a friend you trust so you don't get ran over.

I put ngk`s in on sept 2012 and since then seafoamed the gas tank a few times and the vac line 2x.

Is it possible that the spark plugs could of failed after doing some deep cleaning.

Reason being I read somewhere on here that spark plug change should be done after you deep clean the vac line and fuel lines...

Pull em out and check them. It shouldn't take longer than 20-30 min.
