If the check engine light is flashing, it's telling you that there is an IMPORTANT computer code that you need to read RIGHT AWAY!!! You can get a code scanner at most auto parts retailers. Some let you borrow one and will even help you figure out what it all means. But you can borrow, rent or buy a code scanner at your favorite auto parts retailers.


Seriously... if it's flashing, get on it RIGHT NOW!
I wonder if the vehicle speed sensor might be involved(?)

Sure would be interesting to have heard the outcome / fix for this one...

Why does 1990 MTD ranch king backfire?

If it backfires after you shut it off then it is probably running too rich. Any unburned gas the that is exhausted out and into the muffler will explode with a backfire. With a 1990 model you won't have the anti-backfire solenoid on the bottom of the carb like the newer ones have. If it backfires while it is running it might be out of time. Check the keyway between the crank and flywheel to make sure it is not partially sheared.
