When I let up on the brake and start from a stop.. I swear i feel the engine shake like it is out of balance or something then as I start to get a few MPH it smooths out. Only time it happens is when I start to roll from a stop.. is this what you are talking about?

Try some sea foam in the tank. Clean the throttle body.

Really good injector cleaner. Was the throttle body unplugged and removed to clean?

I'm gonna go with vacuum issue. If you pull the break booster line and put your thumb over it I bet you can replicate the complaint.

Prismatic. That's where I was going. Also if the throttle body was unplugged. May want to reset the PCM.
