Hello. A flashing Check Engine Light on your vehicle typically indicates that there is an engine misfire. This can occur from a failing spark plug (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-bad-or-failing-spark-plugs) or more commonly a clogged or failing fuel injection unit (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-fuel-injector).
