if you have misfires on all 4, how would it be your coil packs/plugs? might be low octane/ old gas.

That's the only code you got? random misfire? a flashing cel usually means its something serious.

A flashing CEL comes on almost always only for misfires. The reason is that a misfire where fuel is being burned in the exhaust will over heat and destroy the catalyst.

I can't think of anything else a flashing CEL is used for.

Op: check your cam/crank sensors. One is on top of the valve cover. I think that controls fuel and ignition. Swap out for your friend's sensor. See what happens.

A single bad ignition coil can trigger misfire codes for multiple or all cylinders; I see this happen often with J-series V6es.

To isolate ignition coils, remove the plug for an individual coil while the engine is running. If the idle speed drops or the engine runs worse, that coil is fine. If there is no change, that coil is bad.

Inbreds like the OP is why I no longer seek HT for tech-related questions.

If all four coil packs were bad (the probability of which is extremely unlikely), the car wouldn't run at all. You likely only had a single bad coil.
