I just got my f-150 fixed with that same problem. I replaced the
spark plugs and spark plug wires. The blinking check engine light
is caused by excess gas coating the catalytic converter sensor. If
left unfixed this will cause permanent damage to the catalytic
converter.

My check engine light in my 1997 cavalier blinks then stays on steady what is the problem?
Numerous things could cause this problem. Most of them are
nothing to worry about.
As long as you are talking about the AMBER "check engine
light"...
Since it blinks, I would check with a Dealer first. The blinking
indicates a possible future problem. Once it is steady, the car has
identified a problem.
One thing to check... Make sure the gas cap is tight!!!
No idea how the car runs or idles, so difficult to
figure...bring it in.
