CEL Light started blinking on my way to work

A fews days ago I posted questions about ECU code 0903 (EVAP valve). Thanks to everybody for your help on cleaning it out. I was able to get to my EVAP canister last night and take care of the problem, and then proceded to reset my ECU.

I thought it was taken care of, but this morning about 5 minutes after I started driving, my CEL light started to blink randomly, no specific pattern. It wasn't throwing out any codes because it won't do that if I'm driving.

Any ideas what this could be???? Maybe I didn't reset my ECU properly? I'll probabyl go out to my car during lunch and reset it again and see if that remedies the situation.

A blinking CEL when driving usually indicates a misfire.

How was the car running?

The car was running just fine. I was able to start the car without hesitation (recently cleaned my throttle body) and accelerate without any problem. I've got about 88K on it and I changed my spark plugs to Platinums at the 60K tune-up.

Hopefully it's just a glitch.
