An illuminated check engine light means that the computer has found an emissions or Engine related fault.
A "flashing" check engine light tells you that the fault that has been detected needs to be repaired IMMEDIATELY, and that the fault can and will damage the catalyst..... Do not hesitate.
Have your engine codes read and get this checked NOW.
