running bad...small miss


My mustang has been acting up here lately.. not all the time just some times it stutters pops the more gas i give it... i put a new fuel filter same thing... and the check engine light flashes sometimes... and others it just stays on... most of the time its not on.. it still messes up even when the light is off though... I can turn the switch off and back on and it seems to run better... any ideas.. and its also converted to Mass Air...sorry it sounds kinda confusing...
