94 LS jerks & Blinking Check Engine Light
Hey Guys,
I'm a first time LS owner. I've had her for about 5 months now. Yesterday as i was getting onto the expressway, i hit the gas to accelerate and my car began to jerk and the check engine light started blinking! the RPM needle jumped between 1 & 2...after i let off of the gas, it stopped jerking and the CEL stopped blinking. This has happened twice since then. Does anyone have a cure? Thanks in advance!

A cure, not so much. However I will share that a blinking CEL is no good and often means that you have a misfire. When is the last time it has had sparkplugs,l caps, and rotors? Plug wires usually last more than the others, but some people like to change those up as well, I only change them if I need to. Check the plugs, and if their ok, it's almost just as easy to replace the cap and rotor as their like $20 for the kit. If your still having issues, than you could have a faulty injector, wiring, ecu, etc., but check the easy stuff first.
