Flashing SEL means do not drive. The cat could melt due to a rich condition probably caused by a misfire. Plug/coil problem.

Of course you are coasting. The clutch has disengaged the transmission (no matter what gear) from the engine.


What can you do if your 2003 Chevy Trailblazer is running rough and sputtering and gives you a flashing service engine soon light when accelerating and a steady light coasting?

The FLASHING light indicates a do not drive situation. This is usually indicative of a misfire. The code will show up and tell you with the use of a code reader. The code will tell you which plug. Most times it is a bad plug or coil pack. The rich condition created by the misfire will melt your catalytic converter if you continue to drive the vehicle. This is why the light flashes.

Why wpould you hear a whining noise from your car only when gear engaged and accelerating not while coasting etc not really any noise on deceleration either it is an automatic transmission?

Friction in the transmission system may cause whining noise when a car is accelerating. A poor engine or clutch assembly may cause the excess friction in the transmission system.
