CEL Flashing. Bad idle

so I was on the freeway earlier just cruising at like 70mph and I noticed my CEL started flashing and my car felt like it was running like ****. I exited and when I came to a stop, I noticed my car was shaking so I was like 'wtf'...so I drove really slow [well i had no choice] and pulled into a parking lot...I tried resetting my ECU and fired it back up, but my engine was still shaking..I ended up calling a tow truck and getting towed all the way back to tracy from sacramento..any possibilities of what may be wrong? if anyone has any questions as far as mods and stuff, feel free to ask me...thanks guys

Sounds like its misfiring. Check plugs and coil packs.

yeah strider you're right..
my buddy came by with his obdII scanner and it gave me the P303 -misfire in cylinder #3 code..
so we checked it out and turned out my coil pack was disconnected...popped that biatch back in and everything was all good..
thanks dude
