    Flashing CEL?

    Ok guys i just got my car and had a rough idle.i tried fixing it by cleaning the MAF sensor, PCV valve, and throttle body.it helped a bit but after throttle body cleaning the CEL came on.no worries i was going to go to autozone during the week.i decided to take off the throttle body to do a more thorough cleaning and to try to get the egr valve off.well i did the cleaning i brushed it with a toothbrush on the inside and used throttle body cleaner.i turn on my car and now the CEL is flashing..wtf..i need to get to college this week so any suggestions?

    well start by getting it scanned and find out why the lights on. But don't let the problem persist, as a flashing CEL means that it's possible to damage the cat converter, and you don't want to do that.

      flashing CEL is a misfire. You can do damage. I'd guess you got some cleaner on your 02 sensor, or somehow fouled a plug. I'd pull the plugs, and clean them off.
