Default Re: Flashing CEL - Car shaking

I had a 200 ford focus that did the same thing. At first just at random, then more frequently. The cel would flash while it ran real rough. When it smoothed out no cel. It turned out that my coil pack had a crack in the bottom causing a horrible misfire. I hate that the plugs are not easily accessible, or I'd sugest to check them. I would say if problem percists to check the connection atthe coil then check the plugs. Again, this was on a ford, so not sure if it could be the problem here as well.
