Car had rough idle and misfiring. Changed plugs and gaskets, oxygen sensor and catalytic converters. Still running bad. Had someone run a scan on it he said ECM needed replaced. Replaced ECM with a plug and play. Car starts up but still has rough idle. Drove it and drives good but check engine light is flashing intermittently. Any advice
