When i accel in almost any gear it stumbles then catches and then continues to stumble. the check engine light keeps flashing.

i replaced the spark plugs and wires and it still has the problom, very annoying.

im thinking it might be the coil pack? any help would be greatly appriciated.
 
A flashing CEL is a very, very bad thing. You need to stop driving the car right now and take it somewhere and find out what's going on. Normally the CEL will flash when the engine is misfiring bad enough to cause damage to the motor (worst case) or destroy the cat (best case).
 
well i took your advice i just went ahead and got it checked out.. it ended up being the coil pack. :mad: and a faulty spark plug..
