okay so I was leaving school going to work, when i first strat my truck i know that it is idling rough I drove on and I noticed when I put the engine under a load, it shook real bad. Then my check engine light started blinking. I've always been told that if the check engine light is blinking it's a smart idea to pull over quick. Well then the check engine light stopped blinking and turned off.
That was not the end...i kept driving and everytime I tried to accelerate it felt like i had no power there was a bad shake, I went to pep-boys..(on the way to my work)..and put some injector cleaner in there thinking maybe a cylinder was missing due to a clogged injector or something.
I put my hand next to the exaust and i could feel the exaust being pushed out but it had dead spots, this makes me think one of my cylinder's is missing. It's not a constant dead spot, it happens at random times. When i got to work my check engine light came on this time it was steady and not blinking. Does anyone have any other suggestions??
I drive a 3.4L V6 1999 Taco with 134 thousand miles; i replaced the spark plugs/wires about 15 thousand miles ago but didn't replace the coils.
Thanks,
Chad
