coil n spark plug question
ok so i changed my plugs and coils this past weekend and when i fired up the engine n it began to shake and i noticed that the lights are flickering with the shake. I did not drive the car for a few months but started it here n there before doing the plugs and coils. The plugs are ngk and coils are intermotor from advance auto parts. is it possible that its shaking because its not oem parts or did i not install properly? need some help!!

#1 rule of troubleshooting - look where you last worked. You screwed something up. If it's not obvious - you have two choices:
1. Take it to a pro
2. Replace the old parts and hope it all works again - then take it to a pro and have the new parts installed correctly.

Non oem coils?
I didn't know anyone made any but I would look there first.
I don't think you can easily get the coil trigger wiring mixed up but your description sounds like misfiring.
Based on all the coil PAC updates Porsche went thru I would only use oem coils in my truck.
Let us know what you find.
