What is your question?
OK, i recently bought a 1993 firebird V6 manual, it had sat for about 9 years. got it up and running, was running perfect. then one day about 2 months after i got it running and been driving it almost everyday. it wouldn't start, so i jumped it and it drove home fine. Then i drove it up to VA, (130ish miles away), but while driving it back, it started to kick, and the check engine light flashed every time it would kick, but when i took it out of gear it was fine. so i got it back home, thought it was the alternator, so i took it apart, but it looked fine so i took it to oriellys, they checked it and said it was fine, battery is new. so i thinking it may be a wire at the firewall. Please help! getting kind of frustrated!

Flashing check engine light and engine "kick" or jerking while engine is under load is indicative of engine misfire .. Possible spark plug, spark plug wire, ignition coiI, ignition module or fuel injector .. Hands-on testing required.
Great thanks! ill have to check the injectors, i have all new plugs, plug wires, and coil, but ill check those again just to be sure! thanks. It is a little weird though, when i put the alternator back on, after taking it apart and checking it at oriellys, it starter up fine and drove down the street and back perfectly normal. so im thinking it may be the injectors. Thanks
