needs a tune-up and possible carburetor work.
The crank sensor sends a signal to control the spark timing to the engine. If the sensor goes bad the engine may run rough or not run at all.
Misfire? Due for a tune up? Check engine light on?
Not running but complete in rough shape, $2000. Very rough shape, $1000.
Why does my 2000 Pontiac Grand Am, with a 2.4L engine, run rough at idle but runs normally when placed in neutral? I changed the plugs and air filter, but the problem continues.
How many connections should a alternator have on a 96 Pontiac grand prix
The check engine light indicates that the computer has detected a "fault". Use a code scanner to find out what the computer has detected, that is PROBABLY the reason the engine is running poorly.
I would say every 3000 miles if driven in rough conditions otherwise 6000 miles
It can cause a rough idle and random misfires because the engine will be off balance. If the flywheels happens to stop with the missing teeth (tooth) in the starting position, the the engine will not even crank.
A Grand Prix can idle rough for many reasons. The timing may be off, the fuel filter may be clogged, or it may need a tune up.

the check engine light is blinking and my 03 Nissan exterra is running rough
Might be a clogged injector. Run some injector cleaner through it, or replace the injectors.
