Car wants to turn over, when it starts, must be kept above 2,000 rpm's or shuts off. Replaced plugs, wires, valve cover gasket, camshaft sensor, ignition coil, fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel pressure sensor, oil pressure sensor, coolant sensor. Three and four cylinder misfires still. Check engine light flashes. No acceleration. OMG. Single mom of three boys, super broke! I think, o2 sensors, idle speed sensors, MAF sensor, transmission control system, or maybe torque converter. Maybe timing is off. I paid too much in February, dumped more time and money than I should have. And only was able to drive it three weeks! It had been down since mid march! Help!

Good morning,

I would start with a compression test to verify there is nothing wrong internally.

since you have a flashing light, it indicates misfires.
