    Default integra/check engine light question

    Well I was on the freeway last night on my way to moreland and wen I hit 75-80 mph my check engine light came on and started blinking so I slowed down and wen my speed dropped the light went off. The same thing happened twice. Anybody had somethin similar happen or the same thing happened to??

    when the check engine light blinks it usually means the engine is misfiring. anything else happen? was the car shuddering/stuttering? did the CEL stay on after (you could pull the code and get more info)?

    check the coil, plugs, wires, etc to make sure everything looks good. someone who knows more about cars than me will drop in soon with some more suggestions

    well i guess when you're getting on it, something is causing the motor to misfire. do you have an OEM ignition (no msd external coil, etc)? when's the last time you changed your plugs and wires?

    like i said i'm no expert but this is the stuff to check out in this situation...start with the easy stuff and work backwards till you figure it out
