This morning turned the car on (2000 DB7) and noticed a blinking Check Engine light. I didnt think much of it, idle was normal, no smoke, etc. Then it started to shake and shake for about 5 seconds but idle was normal. Car has 150k and hasnt been tuned up recently. Wondering if some spark plugs, wires, and dizzy cap and rotor will fix this problem. Let me know what you think. Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem in my 98 LS. Turns out the rotor button screw had come completely out, plus the plug wires were arching when I moved them. I replaced the rotor button and wires and its all good now.

Check if you have any CEL codes stored or pending, since it blinked just before the issue started.
Check the condition of your plugs.
Grab a multimeter and check the resistance of your wires.
Remove the cap and check the condition of the rotor and contacts.

Without checking the condition, who knows if replacing those parts will fix the problem. Diagnose before you go spending money on parts.

Ok good. I will open up the dizzy cap tomorrow and start there. Check the rotor out and see if it looks funny.

Spark plugs and wires are preventative maintenance. This stuff needs replacing regardless and it was about time too.

I will update with findings tomorrow. Thanks for the replies.

Plugs, wires, and dizzy cap fixed it good.
