I recently changed my valve cover gasket and when i start up the car,the engine is shaking/vibrating in a not normal mode.I checked all the connections to see if there is anything left out and they were all connected.My exhaust smells weird,and it's like it's choking or something.Car is idling very weird especially if i put it into gear.The exhaust is what's really crazy.It;s making this choking sounds like those car that the exhaust fires or something when shifts gear.
Any suggestion would be really helpful.
Thanks alot in advance!

You may have knocked a plug wire or coil wireloose.

Allow a few hours this Saturday and inspect each plug and all conncetions.

As you know, of course replacing a valve cover gasket would not in itsel,f cause that.
