Mine has done it from day one.

I blame it on the closed loop mixture control, being allowed
to swing wide enough to occasionally misfire. If you scan
these cars it's normal to see onesy-twosy misfires on
random cylinders.

After putting poly motor mounts I began to notice it in
the cabin. But after the cam, it's "lost in the noise". If
it's only an occasional jump and not a steady violent
shake, my suggestion is to get used to it.

My car does the same thing if you are sitting at a stop light ill occasionally feel it start to miss and shake, almost feels like a baby cam, it drives me nuts though, everytime it does it i start thinking something is seriously wrong.
