Hello, my girlfriends Toyota Corolla is causing some problems for us. She went to the grocery store and while waiting for pick up, she noticed her car started vibrating and a host of lights turned on. She noticed the vibration decreased if she turned her AC off.

She called me and so I went to go help get the car home, this is what I noticed,

-It vibrates at a stand still and lower speeds

-It isn't reving past 3k RPM and seem to shift only up to 3rd gear.

-It was losing speed on incline as it was unable to rev higher to get the power, and I don't remember it trying to downshift for the power either

-Lights that I noticed are:
--VSC off (flashing)
--check engine is on
--traction off light statys on
--maint reqd on (which I think is cause she hasn't gotten an oil change with stuff happening w/ covid-19)

Scan it for codes. All the other lights are on because of the check engine light.

Thanks, turns out she needs a ignition coil for C1. Do you know if I should go ahead and change her sparkplugs too, shes at 130k miles.

I would. Normally I’ll do them at 100k, they should be iridium and while they can last longer it’s cheap and easy.

Change plugs and the coil. Clearing the check engine will clear the abs and vsc lights on a yoda as well if they're related.
