has the check engine light flashed at you?

My check engine light flashes at me with the same symptoms whats
that mean

Yeah like all six cylinders!

I wish the previous owner hadn't lied about what he did or hadn't cheaped out on the parts. Last time I checked Autolite plugs don't come pre rusted.
