check the maf and where it connects. IAVC also may need to be cleaned, or also check the injectors. Mine did this about a month ago and it was the injector rings, but acted up as when the maf is unplugged. The Injector ring (small one) was rotted and that little piece made my car run rich and terrible acceleration.

New motor mounts will fix some of the shake but if your missing on a cylinder then you got bigger problems. The tick is most lickly the timing chain or a lifter.
