Oldsmobile check engine light flashing and engine sputtering?
The check engine light (service engine soon) comes on and stays on when a problem is detected by the self diagnosis system of your vehicle. Generally, the problem is in the emissions or something that is affecting the effectiveness of the emissions, but other causes can trigger the light to come on, too. To determine the cause, the vehicle will need to be taken to AutoZone or a shop that has an OBD2 scanner, or for 1995 and earlier models, an OBD1 scanner, While a scanner will not give you the magic answer, it will give you a code that narrows down the problem area. A flashing check engine light is usually an indication of a severe misfire.

Why does your 00 Lincoln cluster light is flashing?
If you mean the 'check engine light' is flashing, there are many possible causes. The engine management system monitors various sensors to ensure that the engine is running as it was designed. The check engine light will come on if the computer senses a problem with the emissions system. One common problem (especially with the early models) is that the coils can wear out prematurely and start to cause a misfire. When a cylinder misfires, raw gasoline fumes are introduced into the exhaust stream. The O2 sensors register the excess fuel vapor and trigger the check engine light. If the condition lasts for more than a few seconds, the check engine light will change from flashing to steady and will remain on until the car goes through numerous startup cycles without experiencing a similar misfire condition.
