Good afternoon Usually when your check engine light is flashing there is something actively going wrong like it currently has a bad miss. I would get the codes checked , you probably need new spark plugs or wires or a coil pack

Can that happen suddenly
Automotive Expert
yes it can its not that big of a repair

Ok.... I need to see if i can get the codes
Automotive Expert
and auto parts store can check them for you , oreilly or autozone or advance auto

Its not really drivable at the momentI barely made it home last night
Automotive Expert
ty it again ,it may be fine today otherwise maybe call a mobile mechanic to come check it

Ok cool.... Thanks
Automotive Expert
no problem
