engine issues :(

:/ today i finally replaced an engine mount that had been broken for a while very happy about that and also found where my oil leak is coming from not so happy about that but my issue is that im driving and my cel keeps flashing at me has never done that since ive owned the car, its flashing while i drive but i stop at a light and its solid but start driving again and keeps flashing, if i keep it under 2k rpm it'll stay solid but if im on 2 or higher its flashing what could it be, what can i do? any ideas?

I would firtst get the CEL code. A blinking CEL means misfire. The first thing to check is make sure all your spark plugs wires are on right and did not pop off the spark plug. If the wires are on good then its tome to replace your ignition coils and spark plugs. I would also get new spark plug wires as well. The OEM coils fail too often. If you decide go upgrade check BHR out. http://blackhaloracing.com/products-...ition-system6/

Yeah I'll get the code tomorrow, n yeah that's what I thought it was misfires, but it's just different than the first time I had to replace them. The first time it only flashed at high toms this time it's pretty much the whole rpm range. N yeah I was thinking of upgrading so yeah I'll see tomorrow what the code is but can I drive it? Like to work or should I park it till I get the new coils?
