or... if you look in the manual is says that if you get erratic flashes, and unlisted codes the ecu is dead.

probably not, i just thought of it off the top of my head. since its flashing pretty eratically, it looks like you have a short or your p2 connector isnt in the best condition. turn off everything in your car next time you do it, plug your amp if you have one.
