There has been a ticking sound from the engine for a couple weeks. Now the check engine light is on. It runs fine when you are moving. But at a stop the engine acts like it is miss firing. The Rpm's go from 600 to 300 and back and forth. It only does this while stopped at a light. And the engine shakes quite a bit when it does this. Thanks

Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis,finding out what's going on.
