The oil light came on and then when idle the car started to shake, recently had a tune up, new [spark plugs](/topics-spark-plug-chevy/) and fuel intake was flushed, so not sure what else could be causing this. Mechanic's Assistant: Just to clarify, what are the exact lights you're talking about? Oil light, it came on then later turned off. Checked the oil but the oil level was fine, checked for leaking oil, no leaks. Mechanic's Assistant: What year is your Spark? Just had the spark plugs replaced on the 1st of this month, not sure what year they are. Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Spark yourself? What have you tried so far? Haven't tried anything yet. Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? The car itself is a 2002 Chevy Cavalier.
