Car vibrates and stalls. Check engine light.

I am located in New Jersey and the winter here has been pretty harsh. Snow and freezing temperatures. I've noticed if I don't let my car warm up fully, it will stall. So lately I've been doing a good job of letting her warm up. Yeaterday morning I was in a bit of a rush and took off. She now vibrates and stalled on me several times the whole morning. (not stalling at full speed, only when slowing down to brake or idle) Yesterday evening the check engine light came on and hasn't shut off. I did some research and don't know which way to go in. Some things are point towards bad gas, maybe electronic, is it the weather? I have no clue. Any suggestions to point me in the right direction?

Have you pulled codes yet? That's the first thing you do if your CEL is on.

You're probably due to clean your TB and IAC.

Could be vacuum leaks, bad MAF, misfire, but definitely pull the codes first.

I'm getting ready for work at the moment but I have considered stopping by advance auto parts to get a reading. I just didn't want it to be a total waste and not give me much insight. Thanks, I will do!
