Found The Source of The Problem!!!!!
 
about a week ago, i was at a stop light and all of the sudden my car starts shaking and jerking. The RPM's were moving up and down but were staying under 1000 and felt like it was about to cut off. it kinda worried me. this happened only every once in a while, but then it started happening every time i came to a stop light or a complete stop. it seemed to me that my idle speed was disconfigured or something. then when i tried to start it up at home or in the morning, it would take forever to start. so...i tried disconnecting the battery several different times, but that didnt work at all...i just got back from the dealer and come to find out my EGR valve was shot. i was surprised that it had gone this quickly. but its still covered under warranty:D .
To all of you protege owners with the same symptoms most likely, its going to be your EGR valve, so if its still under warranty, hurry up and go get it fixed!!!!....
