2007 Toyota Camry 6 cyl Automatic 70000 miles

This past weekend my check engine light came on and my car just started running sluggishly. Not constant but every now and then. The spark plugs were changed out yesterday and today it did it again for a little bit. What do u think may cause the light to pop on all of a sudden and why would it cause the car to run badly. Also why sometimes when it runs badly the check engine light flashes?

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.

Have to check for codes
an OBDII reader should do the job
flashing check engine light is an indication of misfire and have to check that
check if coil firing at all cylinders
codes should identify the problem
