Random cylinder misfires. Replace the spark plugs and spark plug wires.
Plugs, wires, coil, distributor, injector, internal engine....
the injectors....
The flashing check engine light means there is one or more cylinder misfires occuring.Have the codes pulled from the computer to determine which cylinder(s) are misfiring.
What size engine? 3100 motors are fairly common for fuel injectors that need professional cleaning. Ignition coil pack may be another source, coolant getting into the cylinder. When you pulled the plugs out which cylinder had the black carbon build up? That is your troubled area.
A flashing check engine light means you are doing serious damage to your catalytic converter due to repeated misfires in one or more cylinders. If you get a code scanner (or go to an autozone, oreilly's etc. where they scan it for free) you will see a code such as P0301 (misfire, cylinder 1). Your catalytic converter is probably shot now. If it is and If you live in a state that does emissions inspections you will need to get the converter replaced after you fix the misfires. An old spark plug will generally cause the misfires.
Wiring and internal engine problems can cause misfires.
