Default flashing CEL while in 5th wtf?

i was driving normally, cruising around 35-40mph in 5th gear when my CEL started flashing...i turned off the car, then turned it back on to see if it would do it again and it hasn't done it since then.

i did some searching to try and find out what it could be and i didn't really find anything of help.

what does that usually mean and what can i do to diagnose the problem if there is any?

btw im running a stock d16y5 with basic bolt ons, i/e..no major mods, only thing is, i recently replaced my crank sensor 2 weeks ago and replaced the vtec oil pressure switch saturday. i bought both, new from honda, so i dont think either would be bad..

do you know what code it is showing you?
that might be a better place to start at.

A flashing CEL indicates a catalyst damaging misfire 99% of the time. Check your ignition system or look for a stuck injector and make sure the conection at the CKPS is good and tight.
