My Check Engine is light fashing. Started to misfire out of the blue. Was running great then started to misfire badly. Replaced plugs/cap/rotor/wires because was coming due in 8K miles. No change.

Any Ideas???

See if clearing the codes at autozone/pepboys will help. You need to know which cylinder is misfireing. Pouring a couple of bottles of injection cleaner may help, but that is usually only good for a poor spray pattern.
A flashing CEL usually indicates a severe problem, not just a simple misfire on one cylinder.

An Injector probably failed or is plugged. Try to run some cleaner through it first, B-4 running into major expense of changing them out.
