Default is this a misfire??

i cant remember when it started, but my engine shakes. its really noticeable at idle, but when im under the hood and i bring the rpms up manually by the tb, i can still see the engine shake every second or two. sometimes it will shake for a split second....sometimes it will shake for 2-3 seconds straight. i am wondering if i have a vaccum leak somewhere, cuz i have changed plugs twice and wires once since this has been going on, so i didnt think it was a misfire. this happened way before my cam install. all i can remember is it has been there ever since my "header install". i got pacesetters with no AIR provisions, so i just removed the AIR stuff(hoses, pump, solenoid) well, i plugged the little vaccum line that comes from the back of the motor with a screw, so i dont think im leaking any air. i dont know where else i would have a vaccum leak. oh yeah, ive also replaced o2 sensors since. anyway, does this shake sound like a vaccum leak or a misfire?? it happens every couple seconds, and u can actually see the motor shake back and forth. any ideas?? anyone else had this problem with pacesetters?

i dont think im throwing any codes cuz my ses light isnt coming on. if a code was erased before, and i was still getting misfires, wouldnt it trigger the light to come back on?
