Default help before snow

Got a 99 4.0 automatic that's giving me a shaky idle wether in gear, neutral or park. I've replaced the plugs with champions, Taylor 8.2mm wires, cap, rotor, and optima battery. Not only does the needle shake a bit but the Jeep vibrates while standing still. Once I give it gas it runs great and smooths out. It only does it while standing still, cold or warm. It even starts up right away. Could this be a bad ignition coil? injector? Btw no check engine and no stored codes either. Please help
