Question Engine light and infrequent stalling

I bought my car in May 2007 and it has served me well. However, I have noticed since around July/August, that it will sometimes stall on me. It has happened when I was either at the light, coming to a stop at a stop sign, or going down a hill. It doesn't just randomly stall in the middle of the road but I am scared that it will! It has only stalled about 10 times since May. My check engine light comes on almost every day and sometimes my car will just shake while I am going at high speeds (above 40mph).

What could be going on? Thanks, in advance!

Start by going to a local auto parts and get the codes read. Then come back with them and we can help you out. Without them its like throwing darts.

Loose, or corroded battery cables are a common cause of this type problem! Could also be in your ignition switch.
