Heres the story, I was replacing the O-rings on injector number one, i remove the fuel pump fuse to get the fuel out. I put everything back in and start the car and it wouldnt start, it would crank but not start. After a few more attempts the car started but the engine would shake like a bat out of hell. I took it for a drive and the car ran great.

So what I want to know is what is causing all this shaking? Could timing gotten off somehow?

Have you tried spraying thottle body cleaner around the injector to see if maybe, there is an air leak? The timing shouldn't have been knocked off.

Did you put vaseline on the o-rings before slipping them in?

If they aren't lubed up well enough before slipping them in, sometimes the o-rings get pinched and leak fuel and cause the engine to run weird.
