2nd Generation Car's Rocking! And Not In A Good Way!!!

I've just had my timing belt and valve cover gasket replaced. I started driving it afterwards and my car's rocking whenever I'm accelerating, I'm going to replace the plugs, plugs wires and pretty much all the other tune up stuff tonight, hopefully the rocking will stop. Is there any other reason why the car would be rocking?

whiteblur...

have you read my thread: "chugging and studdering" ?? it seems like we have the same problem...

so far I've changed :
distributor cap x2
rotor x2
plugs
wires
ALL vacum lines
fuel filter

adjusted:
my tps
throttle cable

cleaned:
throttle body


still hesitating....
I'm gonna replace my oil cap just in case it's got a tiny leak... then clean or change fuel injectors, and if that doesn't work... I'm gonna finish my 5sfte engine!! damnit!!
