Ok, normally when you have a flashing light its a misfire code. Plugs or ignition coils or plug wires could cause this problem.
It sounds like you might have a plugged catalytic converter or a bad mass airflow sensor. If possible, remove the front O2 sensor and see if it's got anymore power. I would get the codes checked to see what's happening If you can provide the code I can provide more [details](/topics-detail/).

It sounds like you have multiple issues with the car. I believe getting the engine running right should be the first priority. Then take it from there.
You're very welcome.

You'll have to open up a new question for that. It's the site guidelines, not my doing, it's not my site.
Thanks for understanding!

I understand, you can request me if you would like when you ask.
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.
