What can you do if your 2003 Chevy Trailblazer is running rough and sputtering and gives you a flashing service engine soon light when accelerating and a steady light coasting?

The FLASHING light indicates a do not drive situation. This is usually indicative of a misfire. The code will show up and tell you with the use of a code reader. The code will tell you which plug.
Most times it is a bad plug or coil pack. The rich condition created by the misfire will melt your catalytic converter if you continue to drive the vehicle. This is why the light flashes.

Why does the Service engine soon light flash when accelerating but stay lit when coasting in an 2003 trailblazer?
Flashing SEL means do not drive. The cat could melt due to a rich condition probably caused by a misfire. Plug/coil problem. www.trailvoy.com

1998 Toyota tacoma sputtering and engine light flashing?
I just had the same problem on my Tacoma. I ran it through the scanner and it gave me the O2 sensor code. I checked some forums and they all recommended to clean the mass air flow sensor. I checked it, and even though it wasn't dirty, I cleaned it with some mass air flow cleaner (alcohol will do just fine) and the sputtering went away. I also changed the air filter while I was at it. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask me... ElMaliante3701@hotmail.com. Good luck.
