I had an old accord that basically lost a cylinder (blew a valve or something) but could still drive down the road with check engine blinking because that cylinder was “misfiring.”
It happened far away from home too. I drove several dozen miles with my unintentional 3 cylinder swap.
To be fair, it can also mean “one of my fucking radiator fans is not responding quickly enough to computer control”
Which was not a fun experience when that happened to me, full fucking BEEP BEEP BEEP MOTHERFUCKER with a check engine and a STOP sign blaring on the digital system display panel, made me panic out of my mind because a radiator fan was a removed
Interesting, I’ve never heard of that. What does it blinking signify?

It can mean a misfire too.

Imminent catastrophic failure.
Misfiring in my experience
Typically it’ll happen when your engine misfires due to an ignition coil crapping out. So the engine is now firing on only 3 cylinders if it’s a 4cyl
