Question shaking & sputtering

I have a 2005 Neon with approx 82000 miles on it. I would like to think I have done my part on the up keep of it but now Im having lots of issues. Between Nov & Dec I spent about $2000 on it and Im having more problems now than I was before getting the work done.

The day I picked it up from the shop I noticed at red lights/stop signs the car is shaking, sometimes a little other times so much the vibrations make me queezy! When it was in the shop they replaced my motor mounts and arms(?) so thats obvioulsy not the cause of the shaking. They told me that my car was probably shaking like that before but because my motor mounts were broke I never felt it & now that they're fixed thats why Im feeling it. What could this shaking be from though??

Also now, in the past week I noticed it sputtering every now and then during acceleration. I bought fuel injector cleaner and put it into the gas tank and I feel like its sputtering more since I did that?!? Im so puzzled and just over dishing out all this money! If anyone knows what my issues may be so I can directly get them taken care of that would great.

Thanks

There is an alignment procedure for the motor mounts.. I'm sure darth has it.

How badly does it vibrate?

Link in sig...
It also seems that aftermarket motor mounts are not fluid filled, so that adds to the problem, or perhaps creates it.
