Best Answer

A flashing check engine light means that an engine cylinder misfire has been

detected . You will need to have the vehicle scanned for any trouble codes

to help diagnose and then repair the problem . You can drive the vehicle in for

repair , just avoid any rapid acceleration or deceleration because you can

damage the catalytic converter
