sputters randomly, shakes when maintaining speed

Symptoms:

Started out with this about 4 or 5 days ago

When maintaining a freeway or highway speed the car seems to have little moments where there is more resistance to move like the car is being held back, its such a weird feeling and is pretty sporadic. Its very hard to describe.

Then today I went to check my oil levels, even though I just did a full flush and fill a couple weeks ago, the thing didnt even have oil on the dipstick. I was shocked and filled it back up. There is no oil in coolant.

Now more recently aside from that strange feeling while cruising the damn things sputters like its going to die.... Was at the tacobell drive through and it went down a little below 450 rpms and was running really weird (i thought it might just die in the drive through). Now im just frustrated and will not drive the thing till I know im not going to break it. If anyone had insight on my problem I would be thrilled cause I would actually have something to go off lol. Thanks

Check your engine codes. To do this, open your hood. Look for a tiny "Diagnostic" box by the battery. Use a paper clip to connect the terminals "E1" and "TE1". Turn ignition on. Count how many times the check engine light flashes.

EX : 4 flashes, pause, 2 flashes. This is a code 42. Search the forums on code "42" and fix it.
