Default My car shakes during accelertation...

Today I noticed something different in my car when I start to accelerate. I can only notice it within the 2-3k rpm range and it's when I'm slowly accelerating. You can just slightly notice the car shaking a little bit. The engine sounds fine, not like it's bogging down or anything, just some shaking of some kind. Any ideas??

I popped the hood after I posted this and a part of my tunable induction had come off, where it conects into the fender. I'm hoping this is the problem and not a coil pack... do you guys think it is?

props on the stang, looks sickkkkkkkkkk, love em wheels damn! I dont think that would be the problem thought it wouldnt cause shaking just a weird sucking noise. I did that with a G6 rental for my buddy...it was so funny we beat it so bad it just made a loud sucking noise. I think its the coil but again that is one sexy bitch you got there I wanna post pix as soon as i get mine, LOVE the SLP exhust good luck

If he had a lean misfire from loose intake I think it would cause shaking.

My check engine light isn't on yet but the car still shakes at the lower rpms. After talking with some friends someone suggested that the injector might have been damaged when my spark plug shot out of the head. I've been told I should maybe try injector cleaner and see if that helps. I'm not sure how to go about fixing this...

this happened to my friends car and he had to replace the clutch because that was causing it to shake at low rpm's
