I'd probably check the engine mounts... they are probably torn.

Then spark plug wire... check the resistance... should all be less than 1300 ohm and all should be similar to each other.

O2 sensor? Did you disconnect the battery for like 30 minutes with key in on position to erase the memory?

Please describe the skipping.

When did you last change the fuel filters?

Is it one cylinder that does this or random cylinders?

Do you have access to an oscilloscope?
