I just had my spark plugs replaced on my car from a recent freeze that left gas in my oil tank and my spark plugs soaked. Well now when I stop at a stop sign or light my car acts like it wants to just give up and die. I get nervous thinking I will stall but I don't. When this happens the head lights dim but return to normal. When it acts like it is going to die it kind of shakes and than stops, than shakes again mildly. I have taken my car in to many times to the mechanic and I spend way to much. This last time it was because I didn't put the battery in right and they had to tighten the connection because it kept dying. I need some advice. Should I take it in, what could be the problem?
