I have a 1996 Buick Century, I have had no problems with it until yesterday. I went to start to go to work and upon starting it, it started to putter. I thought maybe it just needed a little warming up but to no avail, now I did drive it back and for in the driveway a couple times but only for a minute or two, this did make the light stop blinking and I regained power and the puttering stopped but the light was still on just not blinking. But do to fear of making the problem worse I just borrowed someones car. I am wondering what could be the problem and or solution, I was thinking maybe the spark plugs or bad gas but to be honest I'm not sure and I do not have the money to take it into a shop so I am just trying to figure out where I should start
 
Most auto parts stores (Autozone is one example) will hook up their OBD reader for free to see what repairs need to be made; this is the only way to find out as guesswork is futile
