Symptoms: check engine light is on, runs fine up to about 55 mph then starts to shake like hell. It feels like the engine is hesitating. I didn’t think I would make it home. All the fluids are fine, engine temp is good, nothing is leaking anywhere. Any ideas?

Auto Zone says they can pull the codes from “certain” OBDII systems. I didn’t know your make/model/year. So yes, they still do it.
