Default Car shakes at low RPM 3K

Hey everyone,

Lately my car has been performing weak, and the gas miles are around 30MPG. I drive a 97 Honda Civic EX. I replaced the plugs, dist, fuel filter, air filter, but am not sure if I replaced the wires I did this last year.

Last night I adjusted the valves and this morning it shakes hard at low RPM's 2k-3k especially in second.

The car idles perfect, and if I shift at about 4k it drives perfect. The only thing I can think of that I may have forgot was putting the engine back to TDC on cylinder 1, but wouldn't the engine act a lot worse?

Nah its for sure to do with the engine, when I press the throttle it shakes and has a loss of power. It actually studders if that makes sense.

So I found out the problem it was the spark plug cables. For the heck of it I am going to put some fuel cleaner in too to remove any possible water.
