Check engine light pops on a week after it left the shop. In drive at the red light it acts as though it is trying to cut off.

Hello,

Here are some common check engine light scenarios. Please refer to this video:

Have you checked the codes yet to find out what they are? If so, what are they and what was in the shop for?

If not, then we need to check the codes and here is a guide that will help with this:

Let me know what codes you have and what it was in the shop for and we can go from there.

Thank you.

Good morning,

If it feels like it will stall, it could be a couple of things.

It could have a misfire where it is not working on all cylinders. I attached a guide for you for a misfire. Make sure to check the spark plug connections.

Also, it could be a dirty throttle body. I would clean it of all carbon buildup. I attached a guide for you for this as well.

Keep us updated.
