What you need to do here is have the computer scanned for code/s light coming on indicates there's a problem within the engine management system, this is your starting point of diagnosis finding out what's going on.

You may need to have it put on a scanner that can watch live misfire data, instead of just a code reader. That code is for a random misfire, but if you can feel it, you may be able to trace it to something that is affecting 1 or 2 cylinders..

See the guide below for more information on misfires
