I have a 2002 Chevy Impala and about 1 month ago the engine light came on and then went back off - the car felt like it was shaking a little but stopped. Today, I stopped at a toll booth and the car started to shake again and the light came one. I continued to drive about 15 miles and while stopped at a light the car started to really shake and the light flashed then went solid again. I parked the car for about 6 hours and left work it started fine and I drove home with the solid light (it did flash once again briefly) car goes from feeling "fine" to having a shaking feeling - any thoughts?

Hae it scanned to see what code it is. To me it sounds like a injector is plugging up or something, you may have a po300 code in it. Let me know what you find out

I took the car to AutoZone and here are the codes that were found - PO306 and PO128. I bought new plugs & plug wires. They were changed out this evening but no change in the status of the car. Any suggestions on what I should do from here? Do you think it's more along the lines of a faulty fuel injector on cylinder #6? Perhaps that should be my next step? Thanks for your assistance with this.

It very well could be, try to tap on it and see if it will start working. Most likely you will need to either have them cleaned or replace #6 injector
