Are you people retarded? He specifically said it shakes when he's stopped.

Could also be a low idle for some reason. What are you idling at?

hehe, so cute

check the fuel pressure also, if you have a drop in fuel pressure, the motor would drop in rpm to a point where it's almost choking off and rebound back up

Bad motor mounts won't cause you to idle low but they will give the same effect which is that shaking when you are stopped.
