Default help - engine light on, car shaking

Hello everyone, need your expert advice. A year ago, the check engine light came on and the car started to shake. I was told the engine was misfiring by a kid at Jiffy Lube. I was told by a mechanic I needed a tune up. I got the tune up and the car worked fine. Today, while starting the car, the engine light came on and the car started to shake again. I know I don't need a tune up again, any advice?

do a search on how to check your cars codes to find out what the problem is. I'd tell you, but its been discussed too many times. https://honda-tech.com/zerosearch
