Service Engine light pissing me off

ok, well I got my KS fixed finally... diagnosed the ECU, got a 0505 - No problems detected... and reset my ECU, all is fine until I had to drive it, at first it was ok, no lights nothing, but soon enough the engine light started to blink, keeps blinking continuously. What do I do guys reset it again or is this something more?

mine's been like that for a while know and there def isnt a misfire, the car runs smooth and no sputtering. i havent fixed it either, its a bad o2 and a ks, i really dont drive the car so i havent gotten to fix it, but how excatly can you go from resetting codes to the car misfiring? in a matter of minutes

mine blinks the way a diag scanner reads o2 readings, it flashes quick during heavy accel and slow during coasting to show rich/lean conditions. i have no idea why it's doing it, i just havent gotten around to fix the known problems to try to fix that.

yup I reset it with a screw, and turned the car on again and the SEL was off, it didn't start blinking until after I was on the road again.

ahhh someone help me! I can't stand it! its not a misfire! but it keeps BLINKING!!!

I just did another ECU test, and it came out the same codes 0505, so no misfiring, if it is misfiring it would give me the code for which cylinder... so I seriously need help, doesn't anyone know how to fix this?!?!

think I should bring it to a dealership? because the stickies can't answer it...
