I ve also noticed that it has begun sputtering and the fan has started making a rattling sound. The closest dealership is 3 hours away so it s not exactly easy to just take it in.

A variety of things? How about a butt load of things. You need to get an OBDII code reader as a start, or find an Autozone, Advance, etc, to read the system for free.

When the check engine light comes on, It can mean a variety of things. The easiest thing to check is the gas cap. If not put on right it will let pressure out of the gas tank and the light will come on. Other reasons could be sensors going bad, etc. On "most" cars if the light comes on, you are still ok to drive it, but it needs to be checked out right away. If the light starts flashing, you need to shut it down imediately (no driving) before some kind of damage occures.

It means you need to take it to a garage and get it checked out because it has a mechanical problem that you won't be able to fix.

I know the clubman. They are usually the smaller end races right when you start out. Usually featured in the sunday cup. You should win the Toyota Yaris after completed all the races in first place.
