I was on my way home tonight and noticed when getting on the highway that there was some vibration/hesitation under load. Figured it could be another axel like the last time so I avoided hard acceleration and drove her home. She was smooth while cruising. Wondering if it was the engine i put her in neutral and rev'ed her a little and found absolutely no hesitation. When I got to a stop I noticed that in gear, stopped at idle, there was a very subtle shake/hesitation/vibration. When I started out again I found under anything but very light acceleration she shook/hesitated. Also noticed when I got home that the idle shake/hesitation/vibration only occurred in gear and not in neutral nor park. Sounds great and behaves normally in when not in drive. I doubt it is a coil/misfire considering it only happens when in gear but I'm at a loss. Any thoughts?

Read the codes, look at spark plugs.
