The miss does not vanish, the noice gets cammouflagged by the noice of the engine. Check service engine light first, Auto Zone or Advance will do it for free. Then post again with your engine code.

My 2005 nissan altima check engine light flashes 4-5 times then goes off for about 5-7mins then stays on why is this light doing this ...?

You need to go to a parts house and have them read the codes. Most do this at no charge. A blinking service engine light indicates that a problem exists that can cause engine damage. For example, if a spark plug is miss firing it could damage the catalytic converter. The steady light indicates that a code has been recorded.

Why did my 2005 dodge dakota 4x4 transmission suddenly stop pulling while I was driving. It will not do nothing in any gear.

Unless you know a whole lot about diagnosing and rebuilding transmissions, you need to get it to a qualified transmission shop. From your description, the only external checks are to see if the driveshafts are securely installed, and see if there is any evidence of excessive transmission fluid leaks.

The engine light is on when ideling but when driving it is blinking. the engine is missing on one or more cylenders.

Hello.
When the engine light blinks, ( approx. 2 times per second ), it's warning that the catalytic converter is at risk of severe damage.
You really need to get the vehicle checked very soon

Missing on startup

Switch the plug with # 5 and coil with # 3 and see where the miss goes, then replace the part you moved to that cyl.
