Shakes or Wobbles problem
1999 Nissan Maxima 6 cyl Wheel Drive Type unknown Automatic 107, 00 miles

My 1999 Nissan Maxmia is at 107k miles but somewhere around 70k, it started idling roughly like when i'm at a stop light, especially when using the A/C. It doesn't seem to happen when the car is cold, but happens frequently once I've been driving for a few minutes and the car is heated up. If I put the car in neutral or park, it idles smoothly. The car runs great otherwise. I have tried using the STP Fuel Injector Cleaner stuff that you pour in after an oil change, and it takes care of the problem for 3k miles and then it comes right back. I have had two mechanics look at it, and they can't find anything. I don't really mind it so much, I just am worried it's indicative of a larger problem. Can you guys help? Thanks alot.

Does your check engine light come on? Did you have them look at it while it was shaking?

The check engine light does not come on. I have had it in to two mechanics and neither has been able to solve the problem. I have had the spark plugs replaced, fuel injection system purged and renewed, the fuel filter replaced, and an air intake and induction service, none of which have fixed the problem.
