well guys i was driving my car and my cel started to blink i am like ahh **** it was driving like crazy slow then i put it into fourth going 40 and it was about to stall so i pulled over checked the oil and poked around a bit got back in and drove the cel stoped blinking but was still lit up so i noticed the car is driving a little slower i was told that when it is blinking it is missfiring so i was wondering what might be my problem i am going to take it to auto zone tommorow to get the code pulled though.

sorry for the lenght and thanks for any help

 

im pretty sure it coilpoacks.......but mine blinked cause i had a leak in the intake, for some odd reason

I've got a post going on with the same problem right now, and its the coil packs. I checked my codes and i got 06-03 which is misfire on 6th coil, i'm sure you'll get similar one. My problem is intermittent though which is odd, i think the coils going but not fully gone yet. Either way i need to check it with an ohm meter tomorrow and order a new one.

 

so what did they say at autozone?

 

look at what time i posted no autozones are open yet

 

i had this happen to me on my 5th gen. i had just gotten my car back after a 2week repair and i was driving in PA and decided to open it up. When i got to 100 mph my SES light started flashing, i freaked out and slowed down and the light went away. I took it to a dealer in NC and he said that when the SES light is flashing something very bad is happening to the car and it should be serviced immediantly. I'm not sure if he was blowing smoke or if he was telling me the truth.

IT'S THE COILS! ENOUGH BUMPS ALREADY! So yeah, I found out the hard way '99's are known for bad coils. Just get them all changed, not just one or two. But don't be stupid like me and drop nearly a grand for it Get all your coils changed right now and get it over with, you'll be much happier later on.
