Misfire issue Ill try to describe the problem the best i can,
when i start my car it runs fine, about 2 minutes later it runs really ruff misfiring really bad. The car will shortly after that run fine, then misfire again, then run fine, and after about 5 minutes it will just run fine until i turn the car off and start it again, then the process repeats itself. Now its taking longer and longer for the car to go back to running fine again. I just need some guidance on what to check first. My SES does blink when its running ruff. I checked all my plug wires and they seem to be fine(the spark plugs and wires are less than a year old). Could this be an oxygen sensor issue?
Any help would be appreciated

check your spark plug gaps, wires, MAF sensonr, O2 sensors. Tou check the MAF and 02 sensors, go to autozone and have the codes scanned. they can usually tell you the problem.
I had a terrible misfire issue that was caused by a spark plug. I must have tapped it on something while changing plugs
