We just purchased a Ford e350 passenger van (2014). We drove it for a couple of hours with no problems. We then drove it through a few twisty roads in north carolina and the check [engine](/topics-engine-ford/) light came on and flashed for about a minute. It went off and we continued on to our destination which we were very close to at the time. We are concerned and don't know what to do with the vehicle since we've read that a flashing check engine light can be a real problem and we are at least 30 minutes from the nearest town and auto mechanic. Do you think we can still drive it to the nearby town or does it need to be towed there? We aren't even sure how to get a tow truck out here or if that's even possible. Thanks for your help! Mechanic's Assistant: Does the light stay on, or does it blink? It blinked for maybe a minute and then turned off Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your E350 yourself? What have you tried so far? We haven't done anything. We continued driving it for about 5 minutes until we got to our destination two days ago. Since then, we have not tried to even start it since we aren't sure if that will damage the engine Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? No that's it - thanks!
