Flashing CEL while doing 100?
CEL flashed about 6 or so times until I got off the gas. I was going quite fast. What on earth? I did a search for CELs and haven't found anything except a couple of misfire threads? Could that be me?

That happened to me.
First big run to 130+, and of course CEL starts to blink. As if you're not a bit on edge and hyped up (aka scared) from the speed, a CEL doesnt give you confidence either! In my case, it was a bad coil or misfire. Because after that, it ran like shit. It couldnt keep up with highway speed. It eventually 'fixed itself', but the dealership replaced a bad coil. |

1/2 tank.

The MIL (CEL) only blinks if a misfire that is bad enough to hurt the catalyst is happening, Happens when the engine goes lean, this overheats the cat. Can actually cause it to explode or melt.
