You need to have an OBII scan done(fault scan) something failed and triggered computer. Any good parts store like Autozone, Advance, etc...can do the scan for you and FREE. The scan will identify what's troubling your car.
You most likely have a misfire causing the engine to shake. You will need to scan your computer system to find out why the check engine light was turned on and diagnose the problem according to the fault codes that are retrieved.
SOURCE: tcs light, check engine light flashing and constant shaking..
Use an OBDII scanner, some auto parts stores will do this for you free of charge.
Codes P0300 through P0306 indicate mis-fire and you may also get codes reflecting Cat damage from running that way.
I know of one TL from this series (2000 3.2 TL) which had a warranty REPLACEMENT OF TRANSMISSION!!! free of charge and this very problem was solved. I still do not know why they were related. Talk to Acura customer relations about this.
SOURCE: check engine light on, car shakes while in reverse, stalls ...
You need a code scanner hooked up to find out what is causing the light ot come on. Some auto part stores can do that. Once the code is retrieved, they can tell you what sensor is causing it.
SOURCE: 1998 toyota corolla shakes before 2 rpm, check engine lights up
Not sure what is causing it, but it sounds like you're running on 3 cyllinders. Check plugs, wires, timing . timing belt may have jumped, bad injector, low fuel pressure.
SOURCE: engine light on
I have a 2003 Escalade with 114,600 miles on it.... My engine light came on as well. It just a little rough especially when sitting at stop light/sign.... (If your anything like me, my stress level went through the roof.) I took it to Autozone first and a nice young gentleman ran the OBD II Code Scanner for free. The code was 300 which is misfire and it listed possible sources. However, he didn't think the sources were the actual problem and told me to check my fuel filter and fuel pressure regulator..... So I took it to the shop (whom miracously diagnosed it for free, maybe because I told him that I was sure it ws the fuel filter and pressure regulator) He confirmed the problem was the fuel pressure regulator and showed me how it was spitting a bit of gas out everytime I started it (which explained the gas smell I was trying to ignore.)
