Engine shaking and engine light on

Asked by GuruD22LP Sep 18, 2017 at 09:49 AM about the 1999 Mercury Cougar

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

What would cause the engine light to come on and
the engine to shake in a 1999 Mercury Cougar?

Sounds like the engine is misfiring. If you have a code reader scan for codes to see what cylinder (or cylinders) are causing the misfire. If you don't have a scanner Autozone will scan and print out codes for free. Multiple items can cause a misfire so it might be a good idea to have the vehicle professionally checked.
