Hello all. I'm a long time lurker - first time poster.So, I broke down and bought the Ross-Tech scanning tool...below is the report. Car starts fine...shimmys and shakes a bit in neutral which turns into a full on shake upon placing it into gear. I've just pulled my Idle Air Control Valve thinking I could/should clean it. The seat for the IAC was easy to clean...then I managed to get some MassAirFlow cleaner into the IAC valve and I can hear it sloshing around in there but there appears to be no way of getting it out of there?!! ANY and EVERY suggestion(s) as to how to proceed with both the IAC valve situation AS WELL AS the items found in the report below - would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks. Jake in NC. Oh, and Happy Mother's Day to all you Gearheads' Moms.

Battery has been disconnected/reconnected. Throttle body has been off. ECU has been unplugged and replugged.

So, I'd inavertantly reset the codes. When I tried to take it for a spin I got a series of 300 codes with misfires in the number 5, and 6 as well as a random 300 code. I pulled the egr and they thing was apparently sticking - so I cleaned the sumbeech and I've managed to fix my stammering/shaking/misfiring problem. Thanks California, and all you granola types - I wouldn't know what to do with any more emission bullsh!t on my vehicle.
