A blinking check engine light means an engine cylinder misfire has been
detected . You can drive it in for repair , just avoid any rapid acceleration

my check engine light stays on and the o/d light blinks....what could this mean?
It means there's some fault code. Narrowing it down, you'd need to check to see what code it flashes at you. Key in the on position, diagnostic or cruise control switch on, hold your Set-Accel/Hold-Deccel switch and count the blinks on the check engine light... it should blink a three digit code at you... the number of times the check engine light blinks is the number, then a pause, then it blinks another number, then a pause, then it blinks another number.
