Hello my car is making a soft thumping after driving, especially while idling.
The thumping can be felt under the floorboard of the
drivers side, and also the rpms bounce a little under
1 only slightly, but along side with the vibrations from the floorboard. Also the check engine light had been on since I've
had the car about 9 months now. Please can you help??

I'm unsure off the actual code, it was something to do
with the gas tank, called a something canister. Inn unsure, but
the thumping isn't all the time, but it gradually gets worse
