It stutters and the engine light flickers on and off when you accelerate. At first it was just @ freeway speeds but now its doin' it all the time. Almost stalls sometimes. It starts up fine warm or cold but the problem is worse once warmed up and running for a bit. It doesn't seem to be bad right off idle but once moving it gets rough. What should I check first? Ignition? Bad gas?

My girlfriend ran errands in it today and it started running rough just driving around town but after her last stop it ran fine all the way home. I just took it out and ran it up to 60 and did a few "spirited" acceleration runs and cornering maneuvers and it ran great. Any ideas?

i know when its in diagnostic mode it the SES light blinks really fast, maybe somehow the ALDL connector got grounded, I would start by pulling the codes since the light is coming on
