Yes, I now have it started but when i press the gas, i feel a stutter and sometimes I feel like my car shakes more then usual. Can it be my cats clogged? Can anyone please help me?

I strongly agree, anytime your car runs but shakes after a tune up it's kind of an indication that ther are misfires i.e bad timing and since you dont have a distrbutor it should be easy to correct.....think about it if any one wire is routed to the wrong spark plug then that means you have a minimum of (2) cylinders that are getting a jolt/spark when they should'nt be then your engine will be pretty sick......thats at least (2) bad cylinders out of (8). thats 1/4 of the engine.
