A blinking Check Engine warning light is far more serious than the normal one. The car has now become a danger to drive. A blinking Check Engine light means a number of things which all are reasons that need to be taken seriously. My first word of advice is, if you already haven't get the vehicle to a mechanic ASAP. the reason being that the car has not only become a danger to you but everyone around you in some cases. The blinking light can mean anything from an engine misfire, which can cause permanent damage to any part of your vehicle weather it be transmission or an air filter. It could also be the spark plugs. If the light starts to blink as soon as the engine is ignited, shut it down. Check the spark plugs because this could lead to an electrical misfire messing up the vehicles onboard computer and safety systems. Another reason could be the gas cap, if it's not screwed on right or it's loose this is another possible reason, if you fix this problem and the light is still there take the vehicle to the mechanic ASAP. What ever the reason be cautionary and still take the vehicle in for service
