2004 Toyota Corolla Engine Problems

The battery light comes on as well. Also when I come to a stop the car starts shaking or vibrating and it seems like it wants to shut off.”

In addition, my speedometer was stuck on 50 (I just got off the interstate & was going residential speed), my gas gauge reflected I had a full tank (I actually had a half of a tank) and my temp gauge said my engine was completely cool.
