Please HELP!!! My car (the one in my sig) has been running great and has nothing wrong aside from a tiny power steering leak but today on my way into work it started running really rough and was kinda "puttering" and the check gauges light was quickly flashing almost in sync with the sound of the engine and the puttering
it has done this two other times now after the first time i noticed it, both times doing it from start up till i turn it off with an occasional second of normal-ness lol
anyone have any idea what the problem may be? my guess is coil pack/spark plug but that's pretty much just a guess... any quick help would be greatly appreciated!

Gotta find the cause before the remedy. If you were not sure if the car was doing that when you started it the car cant be running all that bad huh? It could be a few things but without a obd code we cant tell you a whole lot.
