This vibration is real different more of an up-and-down vibration.
 
Can only guess of course, but it sounds like a tire problem. Probably one of the belts has separated which will require replacement of the affected tire.

Could be anything from a bad O2 sensor to binding brakes.
What did the 'tune up' consist of?

Do you have stock tires or larger ones? If larger ones, you need to change the speedometer gear in the transfer case to accurately reflect speed and mileage. Your mileage may not be as bad as you think.

AC working fine but AC Fan Not working by ajolson1964

I have at 2005 Wrangler X 6cy and the AC fan does not blow. The ac compressor works fine because I can turn the AC on and if going 65 or so down the freeway some air will blow through the system and it is nice and cold. Unfortunately when stopped at a light or 35 no air will blow through the system.
I had a problem before where the AC only blew through the defrost vent on High. When I had it repaired the guy said it was a vacuum hose that came off. I referred to a message on this board,#1242, but that did not do the trick. Any Ideas?

Could be a faulty blower, resistor pack, or control switch, but most likely it's just a blown fuse.

2003 Jeep Wrangler SE by captjax

Hi there,
 
I drive a 2003 Wrangler SE (standard trans) with about 40,000 miles on it. Since I bought the car, I noticed it doesn't really like the AC running. When you activate the AC, you can see and feel the RPMs fall. If you're at speed, you can feel the car start pulling power to run the AC. It's much more pronounced than any other car I've ever owned. Sure, it's a 4 cylinder, but is this normal?
 
Aside from that, today I got stuck in traffic both to and from work (really fun with a manual transmission...). On the way home, I was idling along and the car was really struggling. RPMs would drop below 600 every so often and I thought she was going to die on me. Also, shifting between first and second would sometimes cause a major hesitation.
 
So I turned off the AC/fan and she ran rough the rest of the way home, once nearly dying while I waited at a stoplight.
 
Any ideas? I just had a full tune up complete with a fuel system flush. Fuel filter is out of the question as it's under the gas tank. So what else could it be? This is my third summer with it and it's always kind of rode rough with the AC on, just not this bad...
