This means your plugs are miss firing so gas is coming in and not being ignited. You will need to change all the wires and plugs.

When was the last time you replaced the O2 sensor. Most people negelect replacing it every 50K or sooner if it is all short hops.

take one of the hoses off the vacuum pump. the brakes are assisted by the pump, if you do not feel suction from the pump the pump is shot It is an easy replacement.

Service engine light is flashing and runs sluggish when in gear.runs fine when in neutral,any ideas?

Flashing check engine light means Eminant Engine Damage soon!
Sounds like a bad or clogged catalytic converter. Maybe take to Autozone or O'reillys' have them hook up "Scan Tool" for free & get codes..

My nissan frontier crew cab 2001 SERVICE ENGINE SOON light on the dashboard kept flashing. Have serviced the engine, but the light won't stop flashing. Thanks

That means you have a failure somewhere in the system (Powertrain, Chassis, Body, Network). Just because the engine was serviced doesn't mean anything. You need to have the diagnostic codes pulled to determine what is causing the light to be triggered. Then correct the problem and the light will go out. If you just erase the light or code it wont solve anything.

2000 f-250 running rough, overdrive light flashing

Get the codes that were saved when the "engine light" came on and post them here. (You can get them retrieved for free from Auto Zone).

I'm going to take real *wild* guess that somehow that rough spot you hit actually impacted the oxygen sensor and disconnected it or damaged it.
