did a tune up
had an unexpected day off work and got my car done a day early. New coils, wires, plugs from mazmart. Cleaned maf sensor. was very dirty. cleaned the ess. have no idea when it was cleaned last but it was filthy.
put it all back together. started right up. let it idle til it got up to operating temp then took it out for a drive. no spurts or sputters. idled very smoothly compared to what it was before. pulled hard through all rmps. so fingers crossed its good for a while
took about 2 hours to get all done. hardest part is big hands in little spaces.
here are pics of plugs and ess

If the rpms dipped to like 750 or around that it would vibrate a little but nothing crazy
I located the ess from under the car. Undid 10mm bolt and unplugged. Wiped it off then sprayed with mad cleaner. Reinstalled. Hardest part is figuring out how to get to it. I had the driver front wheel off

Vibration at idle could also be due to failing motor mounts. How many miles does your car have?
You can simply wipe off the ess with a cloth. No need to take it off the car. Here is some more info on its location:

I got the car used so I have no idea what a new engine should feel like.
