Have a shop diagnose it for cheap, then do your own repairs, that's my method when I'm stumped

yea my car does the same thing sometimes, its probably a misfire. you probably have some water in your tank that clogs up the fuel lines a little when they get cold and posibly freeze. fill up your tank and buy some fuel dryer as well as fuel injector cleaner and go on a long drive, or run the tank completely out. and you might as well get some more fuel dryer when you get more gas, im sure you'll notice a difference

and i actually notice which gas stations sell better quality gas. sometimes they put some water in their big gas tanks to get more profit, my car studders and shakes everytime i go to this one shell station

have you checked your fuel pump? mine does the exact same thing, mostly when it's cold, but sometimes even when it's warmed up, and i know my fuel pump is kind of trippy.

Shell vpower is what I use, never failed me, they don't put water in, that's illegal

no.thats the thing i dont want people to get confused with.
the idle is finee. theres just alot of vibrations in park and at a stoplight.
Check the park plug gap, or wires. Maybe you just need a tune up already. Have you been cheap about your maintenance?
Also, where on the spark plugs did you have oil? Sounds like you need to do a compression check.

I'm 99% sure its those grommets for your source of oil, and I just had to replace mine, you'd think I'd remember

i think i may have found the acceleration problem.
just looked to see where the gas filter is and noticed it is still stock. NEVER been changed.

could anyone also tell me how water gets into the gas tank and the symptoms

Water gets in the tank through the gas pump at the service station. It is in the tanks, and ends up in your car.
