I start up the car, it revs to the normal rpm and then when it gets down to idle rpms, it dies. Three or four times in a row this will happen. I also have a side to side shimmy at low speeds - this could be alignment, but I was wondering if it could be caused by a misfiring, a lost engine mount or hopefully just a need for an alignment. The last problem happened on the highway - going 65, punched it to pass someone and the check engine light started blinking repeatedly. I slowed down, got off the highway and when I got to a stop sign, the car was shaking pretty hard front to back. Anybody have any clues?

Purely guessing, but catalytic converters and/or fuel delivery (pump and/or filter) come to mind. See what others say...

Did you get any error messages? Engine Failsafe per chance? I'm thinking Converters or MAF.
is it my plugs?
If you have to ask that question, then you had your hair transplant done at the wrong clinic. Go with the shave, Like I did.
