ok when i start my car it runs good for 10mins.
when its idealing my rpm raises up and down every so often. and when i step on the gas my car seems like it hardly likes to move and when im at a stop light it seems to shake very badly and i have to step on the gas a little just to make it stop shaking and when i come to full complete stop when i put my car in park it just shuts down completely please help with this question befor i spend 1000$'s of dollars on a mechanic.
( o yeah my check engine lights has been on for about 6 or 7 months now)

The first place to start is to get those trouble codes. When your engine light is illuminated that means the vehicle's computer has detected an issue somewhere. You can get the codes by having a part store or repair shop scan it with a diagnostic scanner.
