What it mean when the service engine light blinks?

A blinking or flashing check engine light indicates a severe engine misfire that is causing unburned fuel to enter the exhaust system. This can damage the catalytic converter and cause it to fail. If you see a blinking or flashing check engine light, you should pull over and turn off the engine as soon as possible. Have your vehicle towed to a mechanic immediately.

Here are some of the possible causes of a blinking or flashing check engine light:

* Spark plug misfire

* Fuel injector failure

* Ignition coil failure

* Vacuum leak

* Mass air flow sensor failure

* Oxygen sensor failure

If you see a blinking or flashing check engine light, it is important to have your vehicle diagnosed and repaired as soon as possible. Driving with a misfiring engine can damage the catalytic converter and cause it to fail. This can lead to expensive repairs.
