I installed my own plugs using the DIY maybe I did somethin wrong I'll check on them!!

I also noticed that when the car is warm and I try and start it, it takes awhile to start then the RPMs drop really fast like they barely reach 1100 rpm then drop to 950 this is to weird!!

Ok so I tightened the spark plugs and the problem still lives on but now it's worse
When the car is warmed up and I put it into drive it will climb in rpm jerk forward then the rpms will drop to 950 and the car will vibrate like crazy any input or experience with this issue?

There are two types of plugs. Did you install them correctly?

You have auto?

maybe they just failed again, if the problem is only happening when you're in a drive gear then that makes sense..

Question

Update: Checked mounts no cracks and the middle is still good!
I checked the coils with a timing light and they all were good the first time I checked it I wasn't sure if I did it right so I had my friend check em and got the same outcome and he said they were good!

When I put the car in drive the rpms jump really high then the car will jerk forward then it will vibrate really bad this is annoying me Im getting my plates 2marrow so I'll probly drive it to the dealer this weekend

Well tell you what, I had some where around 60k miles on my 8 seafoamed her and changed to synthetic oil. Started getting hard starts but could still wheel cherp 1st-3rd. The car would vibrate really bad. So I took her in to have a compression test done and what do you know. I need a new engine and I'm running on one rotor.
