Default Check engine light flashes (not jumpered)

Okay, here is the summary.

- Had check engine light on for quite awhile due to crappy carsound cat.
- Get back from oil change and the light flashes continuously while I am driving. Note that the service connector is NOT jumpered.

What the hell does it mean when your check engine light blinks continuously during normal driving without the service connector jumpered??

When the light is just illuminated and doesnt blink, it means schedule to get your car checked out, but when its flashing it means STOP DRIVING ASAP because something is very wrong.

Well that is good.

Weird. Well I reset it and things seem fine now.

Maybe just some random error or something?

It seems weird it happened after an oil change, maybe they dumped something or what not.

Chris, it means that your Hype R is ticked off at you for not attending Expo 5!

Long time no see - how have you been? Hope you get your car all back to normal!

Haha, well the engine hum did seem to say "Go to Expo 5". Josh, I will be in Chicago for 4th of July weekend, you, me and Dave should all get together sometime. I will toss you an instant message.

I am guessing maybe the mechanic who did the oil change hit something or something weird like that.

So just to clarify, when it blinks while the car is running that means a misfire? Is that in the Helms somewhere?
