my truck engine started running rough and vibratig and the idle speed would race up and raise the rpm's without my giving it gas. it would stall if i let it idle. what do you think is the problem. also the engine service light is flashing fast.

Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis,finding out what's going on.
