shoulda had the car towed, your car is probably toast now, haha

It's probably some dumb sensor going off, like the gas cap isn't sealed correctly. Your best bet is to go to an autoshop and ask them to scan your cars OBD2. They'll most likely do it for free

90% sure this is a joke, if not, OP, stop being retarded

>He doesn't know what a blinking CEL means

I'm asking why would it start blinking
And then when I restart the car it's not on?
ECU malfunction?
>>
>>16689177

There are no codes, the CEL isn't on right now. Maybe I am retarded, how do I check the codes, if there are no codes to check?
>>
If it was flashing that indicates a misfire or way rich condition, or something that has the potential to dump a bunch of raw fuel into the cat and burn it up.

CEL Solid: Somethings fucky
CEL Blinking: Somethings fucky, and if you ignore me, even more stuff is going to potentially fuckied.

>>16689151

You only nees to worry immediately if it says STOP ENGINE.

>>16689212

Thanks anon, this makes sense.

I'm pretty sure my cats have been fucked for the past couple years but my car is a beater and continues to pass emissions so I've just said fuck it.

>>16689197
Just because the light is off doesn't mean their aren't any codes dipshit the ecu stores fault codes in the memory that's why there are current and past codes on cars.
