Within 90 seconds or so I was holding the gas pedal all the way down and was barely able to maintain 45-50 mph. My initial reaction was thinking maybe a belt had come off or something, so I managed to find somewhere to pull off and check it and everything looked okay at a glance. I got back in the car and cranked it again and everything seemed fine. Considering I had a job interview less than 30 minutes from this point in time, I just decided to try to continue on my way.

However, after a few more minutes back on the interstate the same issue occurred except this time I seemed to retain more control over the engine and could keep it somewhere near the pace of the other cars on the interstate, but when I would reach around 60mph the engine would shake pretty hard. So I pulled off again into a fast food parking lot where the engine still was shaking hard. I cut off the car and looked at the engine again and could see no visible problems. After letting it sit for 90 seconds or so I tried my luck once more and my car started up without issue and made it the rest of the way to my interview without any problems. After my interview I made the 45 minute drive back without a problem then either. I also had to run some errands around town later in the day and had no issue with it then, although the check engine light remains on.

What research I have done into this seems to suggest this is likely one of the more common problems with the car related to the oxygen sensors or the crankshaft position sensor, or possibly even a fuel pump issue. I am definitely not sure, though, which is why I am making this post. I should also mention this seems very similar to the RCM problem many people have had, including myself. However, I had my RCM repaired by the forums own Tighed1 (I hope that is spelled correctly) and have had no issues with it since. I pulled the RCM out earlier to check it and all of the solders seemed to be fine, so I do not think that is the issue. I have hesitated taking it to a local auto shop hoping someone might could help me diagnose the problem here. Thank you in advance for any input!
