trouble after changing timing belt
I just got my timing belt replaced and now the car has a bad shake at idle. No noise from the engine just a shake. Any suggestions on what is wrong.

I never left the shop. When I was looking around the engine bay I noticed that the maf sensor was a bit loose. It is missing the gasket. Can this cause the shaking?

Didn't pay him yet, I am worried that he may have damaged my engine and trying to cover it up because he keeps telling me that the car will be ready tomorrow, then that turned into the next day....

If anything goes wrong then I would assume that this shop is responsible for the repairs. How big of a problem can not installing the timing belt correctly cause? Can it be off slightly and not cause damage?
