Best Answer

Misfire

Faulty: spark plug, spark plug wire, ignition coil, ignition module, fuel injector are the

most common. Coolant leaking into a cylinder is another.

Internal engine problems such as burnt valve, broken valve spring, bent push rod, worn

rings

Why does your 2001 Mazda melinnia check engine light keep flashing?

A flashing check engine light means you are doing serious damage to your catalytic converter due to repeated misfires in one or more cylinders. If you get a code scanner (or go to an autozone, oreilly's etc. where they scan it for free) you will see a code such as P0301 (misfire, cylinder 1). Your catalytic converter is probably shot now. If it is and If you live in a state that does emissions inspections you will need to get the converter replaced after you fix the misfires. An old spark plug will generally cause the misfires.

How about the plug wires? If plug wires don't fix it I'd bet it's the injectors.


Do you need to replace coil packs when replacing spark plugs?

not necessarily unless after replacing plugs your engine misfires.
