Default blinking check engine light

Hey, my check engine light has been on since I bought the car. I haven't had it very long but it's driving me crazy. It blinks intermitently. Does anyone know if that means anything in particular or is it just trying to get my attention. OBDII codes suggested cylinder 1,2 and 3 misfires, changed all spark plugs but still blinks. Any help??

BTW, flashing CEL means STOP DRIVING THE CAR. RTFM.

things to check are coilpacks, POS, EGTs, O2 sensors, coilpack boots, proper gap and tightening on plugs, correct gas, boost leaks...

same symptoms with the 3 misfires, minus the cam sensor. i would rule out all other possibilities first

Change coils on cylinders with misfire or buy one COP & go thru all to determine which COP is bad.

Probably the ignition control module for the right cylinder bank (nos. 1, 2 and 3) is bad.
