Car Shudders

Every now and then at idle or while sitting at a light, the car "shudders" for a moment. Quickly goes away and no CELs, but the brief slight shaking is a bit unsettling. Other than that the car runs perfectly. Car has Renntech tune and filters.

Anyone else experience this, stock or tuned?

But was your shaking very sporadic, only happening once in a while? And when it happened, did it only last for a split second?

It started after very hard driving when only sitting at the light or standing still. Then 2 days later it just went bad while driving on the highway all 7 cylinders shut off and car stoled out. Spark plugs cracked. Had to get it towed and wait six hours for a mb towing because all the towing companies were so busy from Sandy flooding all the cars in my area. Just be careful. After cel comes on go straight to a dealer.

It's your plugs failing go order a new set and change them immediately before you get stuck. I just ordered a set from MB for $112 and I used a shop discount

Just had the dealer install a fresh set all the way around yesterday as a precautionary measure. Charged me $500 for the job, which seemed reasonable. The tech gave me back my old plugs and said they looked fine, so good to know.
