Hello and Welcome.

So try the paperclip test and see if it throws any codes at you, here is the link.

if you do get any codes post them here and we can help you solve them.
Is or does your eml ( engine light ( looks like a wierd orange helicopter)) come on at all?
have you checked the plug wells for oil? ( not to sure with the 4cyl but worth a try.)
it is normal though that if you take your foot of the gas that nothing happens as you are then coasting.
but dont forget your car is a heavy one with nearly 1,7 tons (1700 kg) and the engine is only a baby for that weight, so it has to work overtime all the time.
Try the test and lets know if there is anything :y
