HELP! Possible engine issues? Car is jerking while in idle
About 7 minutes into driving, I was stopped in drive at a red light with the air conditioner on, when my 2007 Yaris Sedan starting jerking really bad and the check engine light came on! My car wouldn't go forward so I put the car in park, turned it off and cranked it back up. The light was off & my car ran fine. Took it to get a diagnostic test but no codes were found. My car has a rough idle when my ac is on but its never jerked this bad before. Has anyone had this happen before?

Yes, to clarify, turn key to 'ON' position (engine not running) and put a brick on the gas pedal, then take a toothbrush or something similar and spray and scrub the crap outta the inside of the throttle body, let the spray evaporate before you start the car back up and all the crud you loosened up will get burnt up and your idle should be fixed. had to do this last week on my car
