Default check engine light....need help

My check engine light just came on as I was leaving work. The car seemed to be short on power. It felt like it was sputtering and the check engine light was blinking. Does anyone have any clue as to what this might be or what I should look for? It's been a while since my last tune up and it was pretty cold out...any suggestions would be appreciated.

Busted coilpack. Replace it. $30 part. 2 minutes of work. No tools required.

Default I hate to say it, but the flashy cel/running rough topic is getting old!

anyway we can make a popup link that just says. "Flashing CEL? You've got a busted coilpack, $30 and 2 minutes. K thanks have a good day!"

Sorry about yesterday. I was a little pissy to say the least.
