When I start the truck up it shakes really bad and I guess thats a miss fire if I guess but I just changed the plugs and wires and valve cover gaskets and it still does it and I dont have a clue how to make it quit the egr copper tube is disconnected from the manifold but it always have been but it wouldnt make it shake and I dont no what else it could be?

As long as the manifold is plugged where the egr valve is disconnected on on both ends it wont matter.

Have you cleaned the throttle body and checked the IAC module?

Does it run good once the not idling?

Is it a idle problem, or a problem that happens all the time.

If it was just idle the throttle body can greatly be afecting the idle if its gummed up.
