a flashing check engine light indacates a class a misfire. If not fixed it will cause other damage.
good luck

Last time I checked, there was no such thing as a "transmission light" :D
Anyway, if your check engine light is on, then there is probably something wrong with your engine. As you said, it's been losing power and been driving very shakily. Check your shocks to see what the deal is about the shaky driving. If it's losing power, I'd suggest going to a mechanic unless you know that you know what you're doing, because there might be a problem with the engine valves or you might have a leak in the cylinder, causing you to lose power.

Following on from Monte the Man, ind out how much plugs and leads are (not the cheapest, but something like NGK and Bosch) and then find out how much to get a dianostics check done. If the plugs leads don't work you will need a diagnostics check anyway. Tt sounds like it could be one of the sensors.

it could be a variety of problems. you could be having a problem with the eletrical system (i.e. ignition) causing the sparkplugs to misfire (or possibly not firing at all). or it could be a problem with your oil (when was the last time you got your oil and transmission fluid changed?) i would take it to a professional since there is so many different possibilities of what is wrong. they can run diagnositics and find the problem right away...may i suggest you get it towed to the shop, too.

Could be a whole lot of things. Could be something as simple as spark plugs and/or wires, or could be something that is not so simple, maybe a head gasket. If you have overheated it lately it probably is a head gasket. Check the oil for water (milky colored oil) and check the radiator for oil.

Sounds like you are running out of oil and your engine is about to seize up. Don't drive it anymore! You need a mechanic to check it over and it may be better to tow it to your garage. Could be expensive.

Your motor is probably getting ready to blow up on you if I could keep it parked till I could figure out what to do with it that might be great!
