Everytime im driving and I reduce speed and press on the gas pedal it starts to kick like its giving to much gas. But I know its a misfire because I hear a pop noice in the exhuast.I recently did a full tune up from the cap, wires, and new plugs last year, and this year I changed the plugs but it continues to give the same flashin service engine light.

Engine misfiring can be caused by worn or fouled spark plugs, a weak spark (weak coil, bad spark plug wire), loss of compression, vacuum leaks, anything that causes an unusually lean fuel mixture (lean misfire), an EGR valve that is stuck open, dirty fuel injectors, low fuel pressure, or even bad fuel.
