Backfires?

Also, the popping might be if your muffler has burned from the inside out. Listen for them from your exhaust pipe.

check and see if something is holding your throttle plates open.. throttle cable way overtightened/binding on something/SOMETHING.. a car should NOT idle at 5000 RPM.

Maybe he meant 500 RPMS? If it's popping and shaking really bad, I'd venture to say that he could have a blown engine. I know when my engine popped, it exhibited all the symptoms that he's describing.

The automatic revving after you turn the key is the cold emissions assist. It is very bad for your car to be revving that high when cold. To stop this from happening start the car in first gear. Not sure about the shaking though.

Mine did the same thing. Ummmm....I don't know how to say this so....for all of your engine rebuilding needs, many people recommend Don Marvel at MarvelSpeed.
