    Flashing prolly means misfires.

    change the plugs and wires.

    and if any of the plugs are smashed, you're going to need a new engine soon.

    Hey Plymouth.. you aren't too far away.

    Were the plugs dirty, wet or both? Sounds like a tune up is needed at the least. I'm questioning the wet, because...it's an NA motor.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
