Engine Performance problem
1998 Ford Escort 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 124K miles

I just bought a 98 for escort se and am having a few minor problems with it. one of the big problems is that when i am driving it and a push on the brake when it comes to a complete stop the car will start to shake like the car is stopped but the engine is still trying to move.
What should i do?
