My ignition failed so I had a new(used) one installed. It starts fine now but the check engine light comes on after you drive it for a few minutes(if you just let it idle it doesn't come on) once it's on it stays on. I tried disconnecting the battery and letting it idle with no accessories on to reset it but it still comes on. It also drives really jerky now. Before it did this if you were going slowly in second gear but now it does it in all gears.
