Whats up. I am in need of some assistance in troubleshooting my vehicle. I just purchased a 98' Jeep Cherokee and am having problems. Nothing major(I think) but when i come to a complete stop at a stop light or sign, my car is "shimmy shimmy" at 400-500rpm. It hasn't stalled out yet but it feels like it's about to everytime. I did a search on TST for idle issues and only found one thread that kind of helped, but was for cold starts. MAF sensor maybe? oh, the vehicle has 98,000 miles, and the shimmy shimmy happens even after its been warmed up for awhile. Thanks.

Before I call up Autozone & everything, does anyone know if there are any shops that do free diagnostics. My check engine light on my Jeep is on & I need to get it looked at? Thanks. - John
