1992 Dodge Stealth ES - 198,000 miles. 3.0 liter.
My beautiful car decided to stall at idle. I have driven it for the past 2 days, but I must give it gas to keep it running. When I take my foot off the pedal, it stalls. Anything minor I can do to fix it? Also, I just put new tires on the front end. I get moderate shimmy at all speeds regardless if I'm braking or not.
Could it be struts? Ball joints? Wheel bearings? The CV joints are not clicking. Thanks!

Last major tune-up?

Check your idle speed control -take it out and clean it, also clean out the throttle body/plate and see what happens-need more comeback.
