Exclamation HELP Abnormal Sounds!

I've been reading the threads now for about 4 hours. I saw a couple videos that people have posted on their cars making a clicking sound when Idling. My car is making a similar sound but I have tried to put pressure on the SSV to see if its the rod but no fix. Also you can see the engine vibrate really bad. Here is the kicker. When I went to autozone to get a OBD II read out the reader did not power on. I figured it was their reader so I drove to Advanced and the same thing. I looked at all my fuses both in the cab and in the engine bay. Im assuming that if there is a fuse related to the OBD II this could be the cause of the rough idle. I have the greddy turbo kit and sp2 exhaust with no cat. My A/F is normal as well as my eng temp and oil pressure. The car seems to drive ok but the shutter it gets when at a light is not cool. The sound of the exhaust is off as well. The last major work I did on the car was cleaned up the SSV reinstalled and changed spark plug wires. I will post a video to show the symptoms. When I hit the gas at idle the car respond slugish from 900-1500 rpms. The car is an '04 w/ 57K miles. Please help as I am in FL but I live in AL!

Kept reading other threads and want to add that my engine light is not flashing. The check engine light is solid and is because of going catless.
