I have a 2004 cadillac srx. Today the engine light started blinking and the car shakes when you accelerate
The engine is undoubtedly misfiring (the blinking light is associated with misfiring) and once the OBD-II trouble codes are read they will undoubtedly reflect that. Without the specific codes though, it is unknowable whether the misfiring is global (random, across...
