Engine light flashes when sudden heavy acceleration?

[McFizzl]

I believe its the O2 sensor saying its not burning clean enough so its gonna whine and complain about saving the trees and what about future generations and such. Or its from my dirty MAF sensor coughin like a smoker runnin a 5k or maybe the IAC is mad cause im making it work at all. Stupid sensors. Anyone else get this? I was just havin a little fun with the truck passing people who passed me cause the speed limit was too slow for them and it came on. Doesn't do it everytime tho. It has been cold and rainy today so that could be just an air sensor. Air is pretty heavy tonight.

a flashing Engine light is Serious. Its usually along the lines of misfire and can be very damaging to your cats and sensors

active and continuous misfire. look at your misfire history to narrow down what cylinder is doing it.

It flashes 3 times then a pause then 2 times then stays on

go check the code. Autozone/advance does it for free

I always find these threads pointless. If you want to know what code it is, go check it. Most times we won't be able to tell you from your description...

can i assume that was a monstarized version of a proper fizzable response?
