Problem with hesitation/vibration
This morning my car is having a serious hesitation/vibtration issue. It feels like a misfire that I have gotten before and attributed to a coilpack, however normaly the coilpack problem will go away after a minute, this on the other hand has been going on for 30+ miles. Now it gets better I noticed that as I was driving the security light was coming on and flashing(mostly when I was over 30mph) it looked like it was throwing codes with long and short flashes, I tried counting them but they seemed too sporadic and didn't make any sense. Now I pulled the error code and it told me a I had a Fuel injector circuit open , but the problem is that that code is for California models only(my car was originaly sold in Texas). Any ideas, I'm still banking on a bad coilpack but I really don't understand why it gave me the injector circuit code.
Thanks
Thanks

Security light or Check Engine Light? The yellow Check engine light will flash the codes. If it is the security light, then perhaps a door or hood or trunk is not latched? I had this and found that the passenger seat belt was caught in the door.

Its the security light and nothing was caught in the door, what I was curious about was why it only did it when I was going over 30

There's a security plunger switch on the hood, in a little bellows (that usually splits and lets water in) by the passenger side coil tower that may be shorted or activating due to driving vibration. Or it could be the trunk lid. I have a problem that when the trunk is full, we'd go on a long trip and an hour down the road we'd stop and find the lid open. We finally disabled the electric trunk opener by flipping the lever on the trunk latch. Possibly bouncing down the road. I don't know if the trunk would activate the security light, but the flashing security light should have nothing to do with the hesitation issue, unless it's activating the ignition cutoff.
