I drove to and from work with no problem. Then all of a sudden I left the store and the car started shaking and fluttering. It felt like it lost some power And the check engine light popped on. My dad thinks its a sensor or the spark plugs or it needs a tune up. Please help its cold outside. And it's also manual

First, a scan to determine the reason the SES light is on is in order. Do that and respond back with the outcome, we will see what we can do for your car. It might be a coil failure, the outcome of the scan will determine the path of the repair. Sound reasonable to you mate?
