Default HELP please! Asap

Hey guys as you know i have been having misfiring codes and problems. I replaced the plugs and coils no change. Drained the tank went through 6 tanks of 93 with seafoam no change. But the car was only missing at idle the car ran fine on the highway and had plenty of power. Well the other day i removed the bumpers to paint them and this morn i put them back on and started the car and it was missfiring extremely bad and the CEL for the first time started blinking so i dont know what the hell is going on here im starting to get really frustrated with it and just sell it lol but i want to keep it so if anyone out there can help me please do thanks

Your motor sounds like mine when I blew it up. Horrible missing while idle but pulls fine when your getting on it. I had the same random 1399 misfire code several times before and then now the last time it happened my cel was blinking.

Blinking CEL indicates a major problem, you seriously need to get it looked at...and I hope you aren't driving it.

Looks like you need to do a compression check.

There isn't a simple answer. If you were doing something yourself you start by just disassembling the motor.
