Read plugs and or coil pack issue. Possibly plug wire. Replaced all of the above. I have no loss of power as I originally did before replacing items. It starts smoothly, runs great at higher speeds, but shakes up to 50 MPH.

Are there any trouble codes if so, can you give us the code numbers this guide can help:

If the spark plugs are a different color in # 2 and #6 cylinders, I would do a compression test and if they are okay replace the fuel injectors.

Here is a guide to help with the test:

Here is how to remove the fuel injectors to replace them with new units. Also, these engines had a problem with carbon build up on the back of the intake valves which you can check for when removing the fuel rail. If so, this will need to be cleaned by a shop who has the cleaning machine. Check out the images (below). Please upload pictures or videos in your response to the problem so we can see what's going on.
