Re: Check Engine light is flashing, rough idle. Ideas?

I had a rough idle until I replaced the alternator. The weights were laying inside. That and head gasket kit. My MPG went from 14 to 17-20. With mine if i had it in park and pushed and held down the gas pedal in the same position the idle would jump around +/- 300-400 rpm. Maybe try that
