very weird. my manual doesnt even mention that the engine light can/will flash at all in any instance.

 

Call the dealership immediately!!

A flahing Chk Engine light is bad, very bad. Solid is a warning, flashing is your car essentially telling you it needs help.

 

there was a thread on this a while back...a lot 6 speeds including myself had that problem, check engine light would flash under hard acceleration in upper rpm range but would go away after it flashes 6 or 7 times, when the dealer pulled the code it was cylinder 3 miss firing...some people had the crank shaft sensor replaced, i just left my car at the dealer and they had it "relearned" everything, the light never came on again after that...

did you have to pay for it? my car has 45k miles on it and it is already out of warranty. Thanks for the info. I will also do a search and look at the other thread.

my car was still in warranty when that happened, so it didn't cost me anything...as far as i know, there isn't a recall on the crank shaft sensor, and the car drives fine (no loss of power or anything), i'm sure it will get covered under the drivetrain warranty...

 

just had my first kill last nite, but it came at a great price. when i got to around 110, (this is on an empty highway, also, the car was an ass, tailgating me and along w/ everyone else). anyways, my ck engine light started to flash and when i slow down it was flashing slower. and when i go below 70 it would stop flashing. but when i accelerated, it would flash again. so i got off the highway and went to a gas station. i opened my hood, everything sounded ok. i went back in the car and turned off the engine and turned it back on again. the engine light were gone so i thought it was ok. i went back onto the highway and wanted to test it, so i accelerated to 70, the engine light started to flash again. after i slow down the engine light just stayed on. so now the engine light would stay on and whenever i accelerate, it would flash. i am planning to bring my car to the dealership on sat to see what's wrong. just want to get some advice from you all before i do so. my car is in very good shape, i did all of the schedule maintances and changed oil recently too. there are no engine mod either, only body and suspension mod. don't know why this is happening. any suggestion? thank you all in advance.

here is my kill story if any of you are interested.

You didn't downshift and over rev while you were racing the other car did you?

Hey I know this is an old post but I’m having the same issue and mine is 03 accord 3.0 mt and I did over rev one time while down shifting on the interstate what problems can this cause it was only for a split second but now the cars to has seemed to lost power runs fine when you press the pedal lightly but when you goose it seems like no power and will even start jerking and the check engine light will flash then go back off but car doesn’t perform

 

you can't overrev with automatic transmission, if you try to down shift into 2nd gear at 80mph transmission will stay in 3rd (or whatever) despite shifter be in 2nd gear.

 

yup, i have a auto. something else i noticed this morning on my drive to work. whenever i go above 75 mph, the check engine light will flash, when i go below 70, it would stay solid.

 

you need to find out if there are any trouble codes stored in ECU.

is your car still under warranty?

not anymore, it has 45k miles on it.

 

autozone will lend you a code reader so you can pull the code...

 

This sounds a lot like the crankshaft position sensor problem that gets brought up every so often. I'm not sure if there was a recall on it, but that doesn't mean that people aren't having issues with it. HTH

 

Flashing CEL usually means a severe misfire.
