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?

 

I always get the airbag light flashing when break tripple digits, i thought that was pretty ironic but its supposed to be becuase of resistance.. its a tsb

 

Could be. Have the dealer pull any codes that may be stored in the ECU. Random misfires apparently are not uncommon when getting on it. May be a coil or spark plug problem.

 

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 ****. It couldnt keep up with highway speed. It eventually 'fixed itself', but the dealership replaced a bad coil.

 

It can happen if you are below 1/4 of a tank of gas. It uses it faster than it can suck it in.

 

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.
