When i am driving the car starts to sputter or hesitate when i give it gas. The check engine light also blinks and stays on but every once and a while the light dissappears.

Any suggestions\

Thanx MArcus

My 94 did that and I ended up replacing the dist since I figured out the sensor inside was FUBAR

Have you pulled codes yet?

all i'm saying is that my gt had all those symptoms, and when I swapped in a known working dist, it now runs like a champion!

ie: Have you hooked up your car to a scanner and pulled any trouble codes?

Your trouble also sounds like it could be your O2 sensors or cats are clogged/broken.
