Check Engine, Vsc & Slip Light On?

hi guys,

need some help asap, here is the history on my 06 avalon.
keep in mind, i've always used synthetic oil with 5k oil change intervals, engine is very clean and smooth.
got it brand new in 06 and driven mildly hard the first 30-40k and at about 60k had the oil line burst and lost all oil, towed to dealer and fix under tsb with no charge.
now at 76k, engine check light, vsc light and the slip symbol lite up and engine feels shaky. did a reset with battery, the lights went away but engine remained shaky and rough idling. initial acceleration feels shaky at stop. did a search and the closest i can find that could be related is the manifold sensor in this linkWhat a crock of sh*t - TSB exhaust manifold

any help or input will be appreciated.

See if there's an auto-parts store in your area that will pull the computer error codes for you. Those generally will point to a specific fault that really helps in diagnosing the problem. Depending on what it is the shop would probably be very happy to sell you the needed parts while you're there!

Good luck!
