1997 Mercury Tracer Shakes

Shakes or Wobbles problem
1997 Mercury Tracer 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 128000 miles

Hi, I have a 1997 Mercury Tracer and when the car comes to a stop at a red light or stop sign, the car shakes a noticeable amount. The transmission was serviced at Trans-medic last month and they said the transmission is in excellent condition. I was told at Firestone that it needs a tune up, is there anything else that could be the problem? I do not want to spend $250 for a tune up to find out that's not the problem. Thank you!

It may need a tune up, it could have a vacuum leak... Has the check engine light ever come on? Also, a tune up on this vehicle is easy. You may want to do it yourself.
