This has just started to occur recently. The car will run fine for awhile but as soon as I idle at a red light for a period of a minute or so it begins to shake and when I accelerate it will be fine but other times it struggles to get up to 60km/h. Today it is shaking a lot more and now the engine light keeps flashing. I just had brakes done on it and the mechanic took it for a test drive. No complaints. All these problems occurred as soon as I took it back on the road after the repairs. I feel if I drive anymore the car will just quit on me at any given moment. Any ideas? Thanks!
