Hello and welcome to 2carpros. Have you done a scan on the engine control module yet? If you have a scanner then go over this link to retrieve the codes

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/checking-a-service-engine-soon-or-check-engine-light-on-or-flashing

Please post any codes you may have. If your scanner is more advance you may want to look at the misfire counter to actually see if you have a misfire. Your fault will either be in the ignition system or faulty engine control module.
