Re: Engine shuddering, only during idle - tried few things..

Hmm, valve cover used to leak years ago until new valve cover seals and bolt washer seals so it's been dry for some time. That's a good point though, I'll tear into it when the wife returns tonight and after everything cools down. I'll check out the coils per FSM.

Update from this morning, first startup:

Well, this morning the ticking sound was coming from #4 and #6 spark plugs but no ticking sound from the passenger side of the engine (#1,3,5). The frequency of the missing was very high this morning for some reason.

Now, where in the heck is the igniter?

You can see the shaking of the engine, the sound is a little hard to discern but hopefully you get the idea.
