    White smoke when idle, engine shakes

    I decided to get an oil change and the day i picked up my car from the shop it started to shake when idle. I changed my coils and spark plugs but now the engine still shakes when idle and there is white smoke coming out of my exhaust. Do you guys think its a cylinder issue?

    Welcome to the forum. Sounds like the membrane in you PCV may be bad. Tim discusses it on his site here:
