The most likely cause is a stopped up fuel filter. Replace it and if that doesn't do it, check the fuel pump preasure. If ok, it could be a stopped up cat convertor.
Your car might kick when you shift from park to drive if your transmission fluid is low or very dirty. You might also have worn gears in the transmission.
A rule fo thumb on all cars is this. First I'm not sure were your distributor is on your car but I really don't have to know. All front and rear wheel drive cars be it 4 or 6 or 8 cylinder engines number 1 cylinder is on the front of the engine. And the back of a engine is always were the transmission is. This is a rule of thumb there might be some foreign made car out there some were that might be differnt but I haven't seen it.
The engine probably failed you might as well got to silver-streak-gokart-engine-american-sportworks.aspx they have a kit to replace the defective engine.
Could be a bad flasher
The engine might fit the space, but unlikely with match up with the transmission linkage.
your engine might be overheated, causing the vibrations
Mine did that, it was the fuel pump!
You might have weakened the bolt, causing it to shear when you run the engine
Of course you can drive it with the check engine light on. But, depending on what the problem is, you may do damage to other components on the vehicle. For instance, if you have an engine miss causing the light to come on this will in time ruin the catalytic converter and O2 sensors on the vehicle. I would advise you to have the ECU scanned to retrieve the code which will tell you what part of the vehicle is being effected. The bottom line is that it all depends on what the problem is. You may drive the car with the check engine light on with no problems and then again it might cause serious problems.
Engine seized? No Depending on distance driven - might have done permanent damage to engine
I think you dont have to drive the car right now because the cooling system might be the probleme causing the engine to be overheated and slow down the combution , i think u should check the radiator
It is best to get it checked.

Could possibly be a messed up vacuum hose. Not sure where it is located.
The car might need a tuneup . also the problem might be related to fuel injectors that are not working properly.
When you drive with a bad fuel injector, your engine will often misfire. You might also have a rough idle and increased fuel consumption.
bad engine mout....i had same on a 1994 corolla
