Default Shake/Lag when car is running


So tonight i got in the car and went out for dinner and when i returned to the car i started it up and the Check engine light came on and it just felt really shaky. Like a old car would do. The exhaust was shaking a ton and it felt horrible driving home. I could hear the turbo still so that didnt blow but it was acting really weird. Any thing off the bat that someone can suggest what might be the problem ?

Then when i got home i checked out under the hood and i found a valve line right by the front of the engine unhooked and i pluged that back in and let it sit for 2hours to cool down b/c the turbo was so hot. Then i took it for a drive and it wasnt so shaky but it did still feel lag in the get up.

What the hell is gone on ???

ok so u started the car and felt it already but didn't pop the hood to check? and i would get a clamp on the valve line. also get ur fault code scanned for. the vaccum line maybe the only culprit. at least let's hope it is

Actally i stoped and took out the flashlight and popped the hood and didnt see anything at all at the time and drove home, but then at home i checked it over and noticed that vaccum line undone and fixed that.

A scan would prob be the best thing to see what the heck is up with the car. Prob is the shop i go to is across town.
