    I was hoping there would be a bracket there that would explain the engine shake. A friend of mine who has a code reader wont be back till mon. Im wondering if i should go to hf and pick up the 40 dollar one.

    you check the trans fluid yet while it running? fill it up if needed? get that done and drive it to the parts store, autozone scans for free.

    you got a miss fire causing the engine to shake, not the bracket that kyle is now saying is not there. more stuff on the floor to look for lol

    what do you mean by misfire Scotty? how can i fix this i made sure wires were in the right order and they weren't damaged as far as i could tell.

    Heres another symptom the car shakes more when i give it gas but then smooths out after about 1000 rpm

    Also i got gallon of antifreeze 50/50, about how much more will i need?

    one more, then some water to top off.

    the way its stumbling is a misfire. two crossed plug wires will do that, its easy to fvck them up, so go check once more.

    it could be a injector thats not firing. you can swap the fuel rail and injectors from your old engine, cause we know they worked.

    but the code will tell us exactly whats going one.

    Bolts to the oil pan and connects to the transmission bellhousing. I have a pic. Give me a few minutes to post it up.
