Check engine light on, jerky movement, vibration at idle
Here's the story: my dad owned the Corolla for the past 10 years, and never took care of it. He rarely changed the oil, or gave it a tune-up, or anything of that sort, and he drove it fairly hard. Despite all this, it held up beautifully. Now it's my car, and I drove it for the first time today. I'm fairly new to a stick, so I overrevved occasionally and let the clutch out in an unsmooth movement sometimes (only stalled once though). I started noticing problems when driving at a low speed in second gear through a parking lot. The car was bucking much more than it should have been, despite the fact that my foot was completely off the clutch and my other foot was steady on the accelerator. Then I was sitting at idle at a light, and I noticed the car was vibrating much more than it should, and making a slight clunking/thunking noise. Later, I turned the car on, and the check engine light came on with it. I still had to get home, and I managed, though the problems grew worse. There was some slight bucking in first gear, and even more bucking in second and third gears (fourth seemed decent, and I didn't go past that). Idle was still terrible, and it was making rattling noises as well. Any ideas? All help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
