I thought this might be a cheap fix but it sounds like $ now that I don't have. thanks

You're in the Keene area?

I bet there are some folks local to you that can log data that could give you a hand.
A serious misfire like the one indicated by a flashing MIL is not something you can ignore. You really need to find out what's wrong with it or you'll be buying a replacement soon because it died.
