It probably means that the computer has stored a "FAULT" code. Plug in a code scanner and find out what the computer thinks is wrong.
Check the fuses
If a check engine light is flashing that means an engine cylinder misfire has been detected
low antifreeze , or faulty coolant sensor .
You have to remove the head gasket to check in the cylinder. The click and flash should be obvious on a working spark plug
i also have Pontiac grand am, mine is a 2001. The pass lock sensor sets off the security light which cuts off gas to the engine, which is a theft deturent. My problem was fixed when i got a new stereo and the one thing that was replaced was my chime module, so we think mine was a electrical problem. But get your pass lock sensor looked at because that is what controls the security light.
Check bulbs could be bad switch in steering column
my turn flash don't in or outside of my 2000 Bonneville and cant find the flash in mycar
= "Do you have to flash the computer after you replaced the engine?" =

A flashing engine light is usually a misfire code. Driving with a flashing light means immediate repair you are damaging your catalytic converters or engine. In answer to your question, NO.
There is no 'governor' in the normal sense. Both the engine RPM and Vehicle Speed are limited by the engine computer. There may be some 'Speed Chip' solutions to remove the speed limiter but, the 96 has a 'Flash' program, not a removable/replaceable module. You would either have to send it out for re-programming or a buy a second ECM (Engine Control Module).
My grand am flash module is located under the drivers side dash. If you have problems finding it, if the flashers work (probably not), turn them on and listen.
