Question Service engine soon light

Sup ya'll, I've tried searching the forms but couldn't find anything. The light comes on stays on for a while and then, couple day later turns off.
When the light comes on I notice the car bog, and somtimes shutter untill i release the throttle and get back on it. Has anyone experienced this issue. My car is stock, just suspension, wheels, b.o.v
Thanks in advance!

I don't have a Scanner to pull the code. Is there a way i can jump the connector with a paper clip to get a code?

Are you near an Autozone? They'll pull the code for you for free. Once you have the code troubleshooting will be a lil easier instead of just guessing.

Thanks for all of your input. I brought it to my friend who has a scanner. The scanner said cylinder misfire. He also said because I having a lightend flywheel could be areason why its throwing codes and going away.
Thanks again!!
