All I did was replace the coil packs. For good measure I start using Lucas Fuel Additive on every other full up.

Thanks. I probably should have closed my post a couple years back. While I have replaced coil packs in this car over the years it was always because the engine itself was shaking and missing. In the case above it turned out to be the passenger side CV axle that was shot. I replaced it with a reman from NAPA and it took care of the problem.
