03 explorer... I recently replaced my lifters and camshafts... which involved removing the engine and transmission... everything is fine after reassembly except the car shakes at low to moderate speeds while accelerating... it also shakes quite a bit just idling in gear... park and neutral not so much... the idle is a bit more rough than when i started as well... any ideas?

Has the check engine light come on? Are you sure the motor mounts are good and tight and in good condition?


Let me know what you find. Also, does the engine seem to have good power other than the rough idle?
