Default Car sputters. need help

it began where my car would sputter as soon as i would start it and drive, it would last only a few minutes. now its at the point where its getting really bad. the car shakes and it just sputters. every once and a while it will come through and accelerate normally. plus my ses light is always on cuz i dont have rear o2s but when the sputtering gets real bad it starts to blink. i really have no idea what it could be. i thought maybe my spark plugs, or something got into my gas tank. PLEASE HELP.

I would bring the car to AutoZone and have them scan it to see if it's throwing any other codes. Also, the blinking SES light indicates a misfire.

Injectors, plugs, wires, and ignition module. If you've never changed any of them, it's time to do it anway.
