I've seen this exact symptom of a broken intake manifold gasket on a '95. It shaked pretty bad but idled perfect when carburettor cleaner was sprayed around intake runner #1, close to the cyl head.

That engine also ran fine at higher revs and only shaked when idling.

Carb cleaner btw is a pretty explosive mixture. You better perform this test when the engine is cold.
