Hi

when I turn on the engine sometimes the engine jerks as well as the steering shakes and I also feel that the engine will turn off automatically. this happen when the weather is very cold. I took it to auto mechanic they did the tune up but after couple of week it starts again.(there is a engine sign on the dashboard).

(there is a engine sign on the dashboard).

Check engine light:

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.
