Default car shakes and boggs

ok my sisters car which is an auto 03 mach 1 with just a catback and an intake spacer just randomly started to shake a lot when cruising when you give it some gas. Sometimes even from a dead stop when you give it gas you can feel it shake before it moves. I just replaced the plugs and it didnt help at all. There are no cel codes either. Any ideas, car has 33k miles and was driven like a 90 year old woman owned it lol

Is it bogging or breaking up at all?

I would try cleaning the EGR valve my car was actually doing this just the other day but threw a code so i took it to autozone for the free checkup. Use some carb cleaner to clean it out, after i did this it ran a lot better it was bogging down to a point where you had to go half way or more with the petal. Car is still running rich so taking it to the shop to get a real diagnostic, but try that and see if it helps at all.

it ended up being a bad coil, it was number 4, moisture got in it and ruined it. You probably shouldnt switch the coils the firing order is important ive read
