I bought cheep gas and it started missing realy bad. Loss of power I took it to a mechanic and they put plugs and wires on it. It did not take care of the problem completley but it was better than before now it is really bad after only two months. The check engine light blinks every now and then. It is not firing on all cylenders. Could you tell me what might be wrong with my solara

Could be the camshaft or the crankshaft position sensor its inputs to the computer is not be receiving on the cylinders involved in order for the computer to fire the coils.

The camshaft sensors lines up the firing order for injections purposes and the crankshaft position indicates the position of the cyilinders and engine speed.
