I have a 2000 ford tauras se (wagon), and in the last couple of days in the morning when i start my car and let it run at idle it shakes and surges for about ten seconds or more or untill i give it some gas,and after that it calms down and runs great......just yesterday afternoon when I turned it on after work the check engine light came on.

Ive replenished all fluids except water in the radiator and still no joy. The car has about 100900 miles on it..

The shaking and surges only happen in the morning.Thanks for all inputs.
 
Approximately 500 different error codes. Low fluids being basically NONE of them.

Take it in, have the code read, which is exactly what the light is telling you to do: "CHECK ENGINE".

It's not that hard to figure out.
