My 1999 VW Passat wagon, four cylinder, has a flashing “check engine” light. The engine shakes the entire car and fails to develop full power. I suspect this is some sort of timing or ignition problem. Any ideas?
Spark plugs and wires look good. Was recently tuned. And if I could get it to autozone, I wouldn’t be asking this question (duh).
