Do you have a check engine light?

Clean the idle air control valve and see what happens-also go here: https://www.2carpros.com/articles/engine-stalls

yes, I do have a check engine light and it is on all of the time. When my car is performing really poorly, it will blink constantly and it feels like the car is about to break down.
