Your best bet is to get it somewhere where they can run a check on what kicked the light on. Kinda hard to try to diagnose this problem with no information ... from the OBDII system that is.

If a misfire is severe enough to damage the cat converter, the check engine light will blink.

A good place to start looking for trouble is the spark plug wires. Pull all four wires and inspect them for any obvious damage or oil contamination.

Did you just fill the car up with gas before you experienced the problems? I've had a couple the last few months. Pretty much the same thing you described. Engine starts to miss, check engine light blinks and the car is towed in...
