Default 01 crv flashing CEL.

Hey everyone. I need some help. I have an 01 crv auto with 166k. Already had the head replaced with one from an integra. Done at king motorsports. Anyway tonight I was driving and it started misfiring like crazy. The CEL started flashing. Then it would turn solid. Then back to flashing. Shaking at idle. Spark
Plugs were replaced. As well as head gasket timing belt water pump. Anyone that can help
Me please!

check the codes. the flashing mil is indicative of a type A, catalyst damaging, misfire.
start your troubleshooting by scanning for codes. it may point you to which cylinder is effected. or whether all cylinders are effected. which is key in narrowing down the cause

mistimed could be your issue since u did replace the timing belt. Was the head machined before u put it on cuase if the deck isnt level you could be having compression and coolant issues
