1997 Honda Accord SE, 92,000 miles, one owner - me. No previous problems. Was driving car, car was driving fine, no previous issues. Filled gas tank up, restarted car, car started to shake and idle low as if it was about to turn off. Did this for about 4-5 minutes, then stopped. Cut engine off about 15 minutes later, restarted engine, car shaking, and starting to overheat. Drove car for about 3 minutes, gauge for overheating went back down, but car still shaking whenever I come to a stop and acting like it wants to cut off. In another 5 minutes "check engine" light comes on, blinks a few times and then proceeds to remain on. Car still shaking, won't go pass 40 mph, and check engine light on. Timing belt has been changed, water pump replace in 2004. Please Help.

Check engine light puts a code in the computer memory. Find the code or codes and get back. They will point you in the general direction of the problem.
