engine about to shut off

I dont know whats up with my vic, this has been going on and off for a while. Im just wondering if anyone here had the same problem or know what might be wrong with it. At a stand still it seems like my car is going to shut off. The engine shakes a lot and you can feel it inside the car, and it goes under 1 rpm and its on the brink on shutting off but it doesnt. When its running, of course its fine and everying, however when I start steping on the breaks and it comes to a stand still is when the problem starts. I just had a tune up about 3 weeks ago, so im not sure what it could be . I dont think I need a new battery I just changed it about 5 months ago. My warranty is already voided out since I have lots of miles on it already. I dont know whats wrong , can any one help me out?
