Check engine light on

Check engine light is always on while car is running. Idles really rough with vibration through the steering wheel. I can see the steering wheel shake at an idle. Seems to run normally at higher speeds and rpms. There is also an odd sound coming from the exhaust kinda like a popping sound not smooth. I've had the car three years and it always ran great. This just started two days ago.

Check for a miss, and you may want to say the year and model so that we can better guide you.

While the car is running disconnect the coils 1 at a time to see which one DOESN'T affect the idle.
