Best Answer

A check engine light flashes when an engine cylinder misfire has been

detected . You need to have the vehicle scanned for any trouble codes to help

diagnose and then repair the problem . You can drive the vehicle in for repair ,

just avoid any rapid acceleration or deceleration to avoid damaging the

catalytic converter
