    Im not sure if its the fuel cap, because as I said when i take the cap off it doesnt do it, only when i actually add fuel. Also when i start the car in the morning the cap is on already.

    Bad Shaking at 1000+ rpms, any ideas?

    Well after a 2 month long ordeal, my car is finally fixed. It was in fact the flywheel. After posting here I felt that the flywheel was the only part that they had messed with on the engine. I told them repeatedly that the flywheel was my best guess at what was wrong, but they denied that...
