weird vibration
i need some help figuring this out. yesterday when i started up my car i noticed that my car was shaking more then usual. it always shakes with the engine, but this is a lot rougher. also when i started to drive it felt like i was driving a gravel road with really bad pot holes, but when the engine reaches about 2k rpm it smoothes out. i thought it might be the #7 plug wire that pops off sometimes, but it was snug. so if anyone has any ideas that would be great.

well i just checked for milk and didn't see any. my grandpa told me to also check for any ignition shorts, but i didn't see any. but when i had the car running it sounded like an exhaust manafold leak coming out the tail pipes, and it seems to get louder at the 2 bolt flange. the flange started coming loose, but i haven't had a chance to tighten it since my tools are in storage. could that be it? also, don't know if this means anything, but after i shut off the car it looked like a lil exhaust came out.
