In a nut shell, there is gas that is getting to far unburned. There is damage being done to the Catalytic Converter. Get it fixed asap. Cats are expensice, not to mention the beating your fuel mileage is taking.

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.

The computer does tests as you drive the car. It has found a problem in a component and is telling you about it. You will have to check for sure but it sounds like code 23 possible Air flow metering problem.
