My car has been acting weird, acouple weeks ago I got this weird start, like I was turning the key and I heard clicks with it trying to start, then weird thuds, and It wouldnt start, I'd wait alittle bit and then try again, some times it would still do it, sometimes it would start and then die out, Id try to start it again and rev alittle to get it going so it wouldn't shut down, after I got it to stay on the CE light would come on for a second and then go off. Now recently its been doing almost everytime I start the car, Is the starter going or is it something else?

also I dont know if this is connected to the same problem or not. But Ive had to really granny shift my car, because say if I gas it hard in first, ill shift into second, and some times my car does a bucking bronco, you know how if you start from a stop and you dont give enough gas / clutch it does it, well it does it when im going like 20-30 mph, and one time i was on the highway on cruise control and it did it. I usually just throw it into neutral and it stops doing it, the CE light will come on for a second and then go off.

Your car is trying to tell you something is wrong with the CE light. Now your part is to get the info its trying to tell you. You can do this for free by yourself, its quite easy. Follow the directions in the link in my sig for ECC code. Once you got the codes let us know what you found. Unrelated you could be needing a starter or related parts soon also.
