idle shaking

hey guys,
I put some new plugs in my 2002 ES (automatic) earlier this week. I used the NGK 3440 Platinums (I think it was the 3440's). The install went fine and the car started and runs great. The only question is that when the car is in gear, but im am holding the brake (IE: at a red light) I can feel the engine 'shake' the entire car ever 5-10 seconds. Its very noticable to myself and the passanger. It runs great, though. This does not happen when the car is not in gear, although it probably is also occuring when the car is moving, just not noticable due to the momentum. Any ideas?

Thx!

did you properly gap the plugs? you have to gap them before you put them in, thats the only thing i came up with.

I forget the exact numbers. It was in the high end of the range given in the owners manual. I think .01 under the max. .41 jumps in my head for some reason.
