Car shuttering when starting it up
I own a 2013 Scion FRS. I have had zero (major) problems with it since acquiring it over 6 years ago. Just recently I went to start my car and the engine starts up right away but is sputtering, check engine light comes on and vehicle sounds like it is about to stall.
My first thought is possibly a fuel issue (fuel pump, fuel filter) but then I started reading a bit and some people are saying it could be just the ECU needing to be re-flashed. Any thoughts from those that perhaps have had a similar experience?

Go to autozone and get it read for free or buy a Bluetooth OBD adapter and read it with your phone using an app like torque.
