Update on blinking CEL...

so.. i vagged it and got: misfire on cyl 3 and random misfire code. if you want code #'s let me know. after vaging it, i started it and it started fine. turned it off, repeat, started fine.

so i cleared the codes, and now i figure i will drive it for a bit and see if it does it again.

u think it could be as simple as spark plugs...

?????
opinions... advice ...

Anything is possible but you know the culprits...

check plug first, then coilpack, then ignition amp. Those are the possibilities outside of wiring/connectors.

Coilpacks go more often than plugs.

I had random misfires on cyl 2 and it was the Ignitiion Amp as Digit@lex mentioned.

CEL & mild shake at idle/low RPM loads. Stepping on it = flashing CEL
