screw running rough

I was sitting at a stop light yesterdat and my 06 screw started to run rough and shake a little.When I left the lights I could feel vibrations coming through the gas pedal and felt like a loss of power also.Now this would go away after a few seconds then would be okay for a bit then do it again.This was going on for atleast 45 minutes then stopped and now it is running good again.Any ideas?

Probably a misfire.

If it's still under warranty, take it in and have the dealer look at the misfire counts. Might be an early failure of a COP.

Good advice. If you are handy with tools,pull the cop boots & fill them with dielectric grease to prevent arcing & tracking.

Don't "fill" them - you don't need very much, if you put too much in you will have problems. It only has to seal the boot to the insulator shell.
