The gas cap may not have been put back on correctly after you filled the tank. This can create a vapor lock which triggers that light to come on.
Give the gas cap a few right turns to tighten it & make sure you hear several "clicks". Then drive as usual for several miles and the check engine light may go out. If it doesn't, give your auto service center a call or make an appt. as soon as possible.
Hope this helps!
The vapor lock resulting from the improper cap replacement does not cause the light to flash. It sounds like a more serious problem. Normally these are resulting from clogged fuel filters or vacuum leaks in the line.

there is no diffrents in the firing order. with the # 1 piston in the up and firing position, the distributer roter (where ever it may be at that time), place the # 1 wire over it and begain the process from there . most people preffer to have the roter pointing toward the # 1 cylinder, but it does not matter to me. remember that the piston has 2 up strokes intake/exaust so if your car trys to crank but does not, you are 180 degrees out make sure you get the right stroke GOOD LUCK

Which direction do you set a distributor drive gear in a mopar 440?
In a mopar 440 the distributor drive gear notch is set inline with the crankshaft, but it's just a reccomended starting point as long as you have enough space to turn the distributor in either direction to adjust timing when installed.
the firing order will be located on the intake usually the aluminum part of the engine on the top you may need a lite to seeit

98 Ford Taurus won't start after new spark plugs and wires were replaced?
check the wires from the coil pack to the plug
make sure that the plug clicks into place
check to see if you even have any spark by pulling one of the new plugs and or the old and ground it to the motor and have some one turn the motor over and look an see if you have any spark older spark plug may not work try a new one if poss.
if you have spark that obviously means that isn't your problem whether they were gapped or not i havent ever gapped my plugs for the three yrs ive owned it and its allways ran i change my plugs every 4 weeks
if you can make sure you look to see if your getting fuel you can check that on the release valve on the end of the fuel rail ,that's where i put my inline alcohol injection... if that's not your problem then dis-connect your battery and wait for at least an hour before you connect it again to reset your ECU ( DO NOT DIS-CONNECT WHILE THE CAR IS ON) then try to start it again if no go then try this one last thing get a new ECU cause that's the only other thing i can think of unless your firing order is messed up but the front of the motor should be 123 then the 2nd head should be 456 start from left to right on each set.. and if you have any other questions feel free to email me @ ballzbaile002@AOL.com
