Sounds like it has gone into some sort of limp mode that will only allow you to pull it off of the road. You need to take to someone to scan it to see what trouble codes are in the onboard computer.

S.govI just got a new engine in my 2001 sonata. it only has 20,000 mi. A new problem just surfaced- at 55 mph the car jerks and the check engine light comes on. The light goes off when I shut the car.

When a 'check engine light' (MIL=Malfunction Indicator Lamp) is turned on, there is a DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) set/stored in the ECM/PCM (Engine Control Module/Powertrain Control Module). This code identifies which engine management system component/function experienced a malfunction. Once you pull/read this code, you may begin diagnosis. I think you'll find P1529 (MIL On request from the TCM - Transmission Control Module.

Hi I have a 1994 firebird v6 3.4 liter engine, my engine light goes on when I drive at cruse speed 55 mph. the engine always runs smooth and when I stop the car for 1 minute and start it again the engine...

Your computer on your firebird is logging a trouble code when the check engine light comes on. Save yourself some money and go to a local parts store to use a scanner. Most parts stores will hook up to your car for free and tell you the codes that are being logged. You can spend a lot of money assuming what parts may be malfunctioning by just throwing parts at your car. Check it first and you will be money ahead.

Car will not shift gears, when driving at 30 mph

run the fault codes to find the reported fault
engine lights report on engines and transmissions
could be actuator or vacuum to actuator, dirty transmission oil or pump pressure problems

Check engine light flashes at 30 mph, vehicle rocks

Probably is a belt. Look under the hood while its doing this and see whats smoking. Look at the alternator,power steering, etc... You will be able to see the problem. If not, take it to someone who can put it on a computer while the chk engine light is on. Good luck

Engine indicator is on, turbo does not work if speed over 30 mph

the turbo is the problem and needs replacement.  It's sadly expensive so try a junk yard or a turbo rebuilder.

Engine malfunction light came on

As with any check engine light, the only way to find out what the issue is is to have the code read. The dealership can pull the code and let you know what the issue is.
Before considering driving the vehicle to the dealer though, check the obvious: oil level, coolant level, transmission oil level.
If your uneasy, have it towed.
