So my check engine light came on a few days ago, and recently my car hasn't been acting right. When I turn it on, my engine temp gauge reads that my engine is very cold....which is unusual, because I live in Florida and the warm weather usually keeps my engine temp halfway between hot and cold, unless it gets very cold outside. Also, my RPM gauge acts funny, and moves up and down between the 1 and the 2. So I sit there and try to let the engine warm up before I drive it, and the RPM gauge continues to fluctuate while I can simultaneously feel my car kind of shutter or shake a little bit. When I start driving, the temp gauge eventually goes to warm, but until that happens, the car doesnt want to accelerate properly, and it feels like its miss-firing or something. It sort of jumps and sputters, and the RPM gauge continues to move sporadically. My car is not a happy camper! Please help!!
