Every once in a while mainly when stopped my car will start shaking like its about to die, but never does. I can increase speed but not rapidly. The battery meter dips and comes right back up and the check engine light flashes and goes to steady. I just got an electrical tune-up, but it's still happening

try checking your timing and your alternator maybe on the alternator there is a bad bearing or lose bolt. but I really need to know if you have any noises.

Check your Belt, and more importantely your belt tensioner if its a LS1 car

the flashing SES light is a random misfire code
