First you need to find out why the check engine light is blinking. Borrow, rent or buy an engine diagnostic code scanner from your local auto parts retailer. They'll often even help you figure out how to connect the scanner and what the codes mean. The flashing light is the computers way to tell you that it's found a SERIOUS problem and you need to take care of it RIGHT NOW... or at least that's what the auto industry says.

Once you figure out what the computer is complaining about you should be able to fix the problem.
