Re: check engline light on and sometimes off

Prob not the most helpful answer, but get a code reader and find out what code it's throwing. Can't really fix the problem if you don't know what's wrong.

Flashing CEL is a misfire that is bad enough to damage the cat.
Fix the misfire before it damages the cat.
