my saturn station wagon sw1 is acting strange. The check engine light comes on and blinks . When the car is driven it driver rough and is hard to accelerate . When its in park it runs like crap but stays on but when its in drive it shuts off. When i do get it to drive it was driving on its own with out my foot being on the gas. What does this mean do i need a new cat or what ? Thanks

I need you to have your computer scanned for codes post the exact code numbers not code descriptions.Sounds like a vacuum leak possible a sticking egr valve.ALso inspect your pcv for holes leaks etc.
