Does it feel like a steady miss or erratic roughness. At idle, in gear, or higher rpms?

it runs rough mainly accelerating going through the gears and high speeds pretty much steady oh and engine light flashes

Use this procedure to see what codes you can find. The code information is at the bottom of the page.

i did the code pull according to link sent the engine light flashed so much i got dizzy how do i figure codes by flashes

They're all 2 digit codes, You'll probably have too run it more than once if there are lot's of codes. If you reread the procedure, it tells of a 2 sec. pause between digits and Continuous Memory DTCs are separated from Key On Engine Off DTCs by a six second delay, a single half second flash, then another six second delay. Here's what they indicate. OBD-I Diagnostic Trouble Codes

What engine is it?

2.9. could it be fuel pressure ? seems like injectors rattling more than they should

I never heard them rattle other than their normal ticking, even with low fuel pressure. Can you check the pressure? What codes did you get. It may take afew times to get the feel of how they work.
