Check that your gas cap is properly secure, remove and reinstall to be sure. It may take some time to clear if this is the problem.
Many service centers offer free check of service light causes.

Changed plug, wire , checked coil, still missing on #3 cyl, what do i need to do, engine light blinks

The check engine light blinks when the problem is serious enough to cause damage to the cat converter.
The problem could be spark, fuel, or something mechanical like a bad valve. So if you think the spark is good, the next step would be checking compression and fuel delivery.

Engine light is blinking and it runs very rough/low power in gear.

Check the coil pack. Same symptoms on mine. It went at 74,000.
You can get the resistance specs from a shop manual. I have been told the plastic engine cover traps heat and makes short life of the coil pack. I removed the top engin cover, cosmetic only after replacing mine. You will probably need spark plugs also they are probably fowled by now. If you have not changed spark plug wires in awhile in would not hurt.
