97 4.6L check engine light flashing

Doesn't this mean total misfire when it flashes? I've replaced the plugs, wires, and air filter, and it ran fine for a few weeks. Then it started acting up again. Check engine light stays on. Runs rough at start up and when I get in the gas. If I accelerate too much it starts missing and the CE light flashes for a while, then it'll smooth out and light stops. ???????

You need to go to auto zone and have the codes pulled then come back with them.

I second that. However it might be a faulty ignition coil if its still misfiring after changing the plugs and wires.
