Default I have a weird problem

The car bucks a little bit but that's not what's really confusing me anymore...

I've tried alot of different things to resolve that but lately I have a check enigine light that goes on and off primarily when I'm either slowing down or sitting still....

well I popped the hood to check it out and when I closed the hood it was like the impact of it closing made the car idle REALLY low...like 200 or 300...

I popped the hood and slammed it again and the idle went back up lol. I have no idea what's going on.

Sounds like something COULD be loose in there. Go over all the harnesses and connections. Check your grounds.
