lumpy idle after oil change

Need some help with lumpy idle. After I changed my oil car was running fine. Went to top it up without a funnel due to laziness now oil is everywhere!
Car has a lumpy idle. Enough to shake the car. Runs fine when not idling however. No check engine light and unable to read codes (have an aristo v300, although my OBD2 reader plugs in just fine, it can't connect to the ecu).
Found one of my plugs covered in oil and cleaned her up. Cleaned up all the oil. Still not running right. Any suggestion how to fix her? Would also love to know how to read codes on this car.
Thanks!

Might have to wait till a code comes up. all my plugs are filled with oil and still runs fine
but of course every situation is relative. The whole oil top off could be coincidental, don't let that blind you to any other possibilities. Could be a small crack in a vacuum line or something, ya know? Could have tapped a brittle line while pouring the oil... Just something else to think of

Yeah there's a trick to making the torque app read Toyota's retarded jobd, they stopped using the format entirely after 05. One thing that I recall watching about a rough idle was the VVT oil control valve, maybe try and look it up on YouTube

Perplexed.
Anyway to test each component with a multimeter and determine definitely if anything is working or not? Coil, plug and wire?
Failing that I am tempted to trash the whole ignition setup and go to a 1zz setup if I can figure out how to get the tach to work without the OEM ignigtor.
