I haven't driven my car in about 3 days and I go to start it and the engine shakes nasty during idle. I can feel the whole car shaking wit the engine. Frm 1k to 2.5k it shakes real bad I can feel it in the steering wheel and shifter. What could cause it to shake lik this? It's a 95 5.0 cobra

misfire or vacuum leak. A bad balancer is going to shake all through the RPM range, not go away after 2.5k rpm.
