Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum. I'm in need of some advice. Today I was driving home and my car started to lose power. When i tried to accelerate it would hold off and the engine light started flashing. I freaked out especially since I had my infant in the car on a highway so i just pulled over. I turned it off and once i turned my car on it was normal again. What the heck is that all about? Anyone ever had that happen?? Any feedback is pretty awesome.

They make new pistons every day, so why worry?

Typically the computer will store hard codes that initiate a flashing engine light. Have your local mechanic or autozone for that matter scan the car for codes. This is the first step to looking for an issue

Loss of power and a flashing CEL 9 out of 10 means a bad ignition coil or coils.
