Hello, and thank you for writing in. Typically shaking is a sign of misfiring. Misfiring occurs when the air, fuel, or spark are being sent to the engine improperly. Since the check engine light is on, there is a strong chance that you will have a diagnostic code saved to the computer. This will give you more information about the issues in which the computer is finding, and help point you in the right direction. Otherwise there is a lot of testing that needs to be done. If there are multiple codes available, find out what they have in common, and start there first. Pulling those diagnostic codes can be done by a technician or at most local automotive parts stores. For more help resolving the issue, contact our service department to schedule an appointment.
