If the AWD warning light is on all the time, that means a fault of some sort has been detected, likely in the control system or sensors but there are mechanical possibilities, too. Your vehicle has an onboard diagnostic system (referred to as OBD-II) that stores trouble codes that "set". The AWD warning light means that such codes have "set" and can be downloaded by the mechanic. If you request a warning light diagnostic - AWD the responding certified mechanic will read the codes and perform the required diagnostic to point whatever the fault is.

Car skipping

Hello - I would first check the battery cables and ground straps for corrosion, or other poor-connectivity problems (https://www.yourmechanic.com/question/car-doesn-t-turn-over-right-away-sometimes-by-brendan-d).
