is the car misfiring? im kind of confused by your writing... if it "vibrates" under acceleration, then youre most likely misfiring... coilpacks are an common troublemaker... you said the mechanic changed your spark plugs correct? i bet you have at least one dead coilpack.

it does not vibrate on aceleration, it vibrate on idleling once the valve goes bad and that is after 50 miles, what could be causing the valve to go bad
