if the engine light is blinking a misfire condition has been detected. check plugs and wires.l
The answer is on page 11 in the owner's manual ( "Light is blinking" ). Engine is misfiring, bring it to a garage as soon as possible.
The Corolla could be shaking for many reasons. Start by checking the wheel bearings and brakes for wear. Then check the engine to see if it running rough, causing the shake.
it could be your engine mounts are needing replaced
this is normally caused by water entering the electronics of the engine. The most poular is the distributer cap. open cap and allow to completely dry and reasemble and see if that solves the problem.
No. Bucking, I would consider an engine performance issue and shaking would be suspension or steering issues.
the car steering shaking and the check engine light are almost certainly NOT the same problem. Mustangs shake, that's just how it works. If you want to know what the check engine light is for, take it to autozone, they'll tell you what the code means and maybe be able to offer advice. If they can't help you... a mechanic is the next stop.
check for loose or disconnected vacuum hose
You most likely have cylinder misfire. Check your ignition coils and spark plugs.
If your car is shaking, it normally has to do with your tires. Check your tires for a flat or to make sure they are securely put on.
Same thing on my front wheel drive car. Replace your engine mount(s). The rubber has probably worn. Not too hard of a job. -------------- Check for a mis-firing cylinder also.
check iac.
