Blinking MIL is a severe misfire which would also be why your car runs poorly when it's happening. Pull the codes as said and see if it's one cylinder or which ones specifically. Is your car stock or modified...and are you replacing parts with OEM or generic?

A misfire can eventually ruin the catalytic convertor - it needs immediate repair.

You should take it to your nearest mechanic and have him take a look at it, especially if its a misfire.

Overwhelming details on trim/engine/mods for this 2006 civic, either way you have to get your vehicle scanned for trouble codes and go from there.

I wouldn't drive it if possible. Damage may be minor now, but will cause severe damage if you keep driving it with a misfire.
