My 2003 Jetta wagon just stalled and when I try and restart it shakes and seems to be missfireing. The check engine light came on also. Any suggestions?

Scan the computer for code/s and get back with me with the code/s this is where we start. Could be one of the below that's causing it

Engine misfiring can be caused by worn or fouled spark plugs, a weak spark (weak coil, bad spark plug wire), loss of compression, vacuum leaks, anything that causes an unusually lean fuel mixture (lean misfire), an EGR valve that is stuck open, dirty fuel injectors, low fuel pressure, or even bad fuel
