I have a 97 buick skylark with 209,000 miles and my check engine light is on. every morning I crank up the car and it runs fine, but after about 30 minutes of driving it will start to jerk when I hit the gas pedal Like its not getting any gas, and then my chck engine light starts blinking. Then after a little while it gets back up to speed and at normal. It also goes dead after I let it sit for about ten minutes running(pressing the gas at the same time) what can be the cause of the proble,? I went to auto zone to check my check engine light and the results read....Cylinder Misfire detected...powertrain control module monitors crankshaft speed and detected a misfire...and it also said ignition system fault(spark plugs,ignition wires,coils. I dont know anything about cars. What should I check first?
