You probably have a weak spark plug or injector.You should get a check engine light and if you have the computer scanned you should have a code telling you which cylinder is not firing.The problem is there at idle but not as serious as when you put a load on the engine.

this could be your heater core leaking antifreeze and the smoke may be steam

No, hazard lights are not required for new vehicles, however they can be very useful in an emergency situation. ------------------New Digiprog III Digiprog 3 Odometer Programmer

bad electric window motor inside the door, replace motor.

If the clutch is good and no air in the hydrolic system, your synchronizers are most likely going bad.

It sounds like the transmission is slipping and the sensor is just reporting this info and setting a code, you have made a common mistake. You likely need a transmission overhaul

I have to ask, did anybody actually check the fuel pressure with a gauge ?And did anyone check engine compression to see if the cam timing is off ?

Sounds like you have a major misfire problem. The light is flashing because the ecm has determined that the problem is severe enough to cause damage to something. If your engine light flashes it is a warning not to drive the vehicle. I'm assuming this is a four cylinder. My guess would be that only two of the cylinders are actually producing any power. I would need the following details to help you further. How many miles are on this engine? Has the necessary factory maintenance schedule been maintained? In other words have the appropriate parts been changed and serviced to keep this engine performing properly. Many things could be causing your issues. Do the necessary maintenance first, like spark plugs and whatever the manufacturer requires and see what happens. If this does not help I can help you with the rest.

never replace parts until u know the solution-ull end up on valium--hook a tech ll scanner that runs a data stream to get the rite direction--cud be just bad sensors or batt connections or plug wires etc-sometimes just basic maintenance

Could the the control on the dash, or a stuck blend door under the dash.
