Addition Manual. My wife also tells me it wont accelerate.

If she lets the clutch out and the car revs but will not accelerate then you will need to have the clutch, pressure plate, flywheel and throwout bearing replaced to fix this issue. The engine light is likely a seperate issue and you would need to get to an autozone or ammco to have the code pulled as they will do this for free for you and then you can see what the light is on for....
