Check Engine Light Blinking and Engine Shaking

Hello Everyone,

Yesterday my Gas gauge went all the way down to E, and for the first time I filled my car with gas from HESS Super, I usealy get it from BP Super. Then I drove 1 mile and park the car at home everything was fine and normal as usual . So I went this morning to start the car and the car was a little shaking. I could feel the steering vibrating. And when ever I step on the gas it vibrates even more. The check engine light have been coming on for couple of months, but it goes away every 3-4 days and comes on again. But this morning it would blink about 5 times and stop and blink again after 10 min. Anyone know what could it be?

Thanks for all your help!

You have to chance spark plugs or ignition coil.
There is something wrong with one of them.
You can just switch with any working cyclinders
You can figure out which one is not working.

I paid $200 can for 2 coils and $30 for repair.

I have the same exact problem, does anyone know for sure what it is? I need to make this go away so I can pass emissions.

Have you checked your coil packs as mentioned above?
