My truck engine started running rough and vibratig and the idle speed would race up and raise the rpm's without my giving it gas. It would stall if I let it idle. What do you think is the problem. Also the engine service light is flashing fast.

Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis, finding out what's going on.

The idle will race up to 3000+ rpm's. The engine vibrates real hard and it stalls out if I dont pump the gas
