Default Help please something is wrong

hey every one so for some reason my car is acting up, i just drove down from seattle to nevada with no problems at all i changed my oil, oil filter and air filter all the day before i left. but anyways its been fine the last 5 days down here until today i am driving and shifting in to second and my car isnt getting power, it seems like its like its lagging or chocking. i tried turning my car off and on again but it still did the same thing, the check engine light blinked a few times s im going find a place to run codes and check out what it is. im thinking its a fuel filter problem but i dont know for sure. any ideas please please help.

I hate the desert. Thats where my coolant flange decided to take a sh*t. 2.7mi away from my mother-in-laws house. $600 later i was back on my way to san diego. I hope your problem is cheaper.

If it runs, then just drive it. There's no need to be stuck in the desert with a running car. It's probably just an o2 sensor. Reset the codes. If it's not a hard fail, sometimes they don't come back for a while. It doesn't hurt to drive with a bad o2.

Switch the coil with another cylinder and if the misfire moves with it, it is the coil pack if not most likely the plug. The O2 codes a prolly related to the misfire, thats also why your CEL was blinking

The secondary air injection system only runs at start up for cleaner emissions on a cold start. This one can proabaly wait until you get home. When I had this code was just a ripped vac hose.

Hope this helps some, good luck.

you need to change the 02 sensors first and then see what happens. if you take it to a shop you'll def get raped. you can get universal bosch sensors from autozone for 80 a piece and all the sensors on the car is the same. you'll need to splice the new wires with the old wires though. as for the the other codes, they could just be the reaction to the 02 sensors. i'm getting the same codes but without the misfire.
