???ses Light Flashes After Driving For 5-10 Min

I just got my car running after about 14 months of working on it to try to get it right. But alass theres still seems to be a problem. The car runs really rough at idle (to lopey for my cam imo) and when driving at speed (60 in 5th gear) the car still has a bad rough feeling and when you ease on the gas it chugs up to speed but if you throw it in 3rd and floor it it just pulls hard. After driving it 5-10 minutes the ses light flashes the rest of the time I drive the car with no change in how its running. Then when I stop and turn the car off the nest time I start it up the light isnt flashing until about 5-10 minutes. Had it scanned no codes came up. New plugs plug wires o2 sensors fuel injectors coil opti control module.

Please any help is greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my car did that once- it was a misfire and i checked the plugs and wires, (the obvious stuff) and ended up that one of my spark plugs was lose. tightened it up and she ran fine-no more flashing ses.

The flashing SES light indicates a misfire. Like nb 96 z said, look at the ignition parts and hopefully, that will fix your problem.

I had that too basically a loose plug, a burnt wire, or bad opti or something of that nature. I still havent pinpointed mine yet but i did tighten all my plugs. I only get misfires occasionally so it doesnt matter much to me.
