Blinking CEL, misfires, but running fine?
Blinking CEL, misfires, but running fine?
2008 Cobalt SS turbo with 75k miles. It has been religiously maintained and has never given me any mechanical issues, but I was driving from Lincoln to Omaha last Friday, cruising at a constant 80mph, when my check engine light blinked a few times. The car was running fine, no loss of power and no weird noises or vibrations. The check engine light blinked a few more times over the course of maybe five minutes and then it hasn't done it since then. Drive it to Omaha and then back to Lincoln and nothing. I scanned it and I got codes for misfires on all four cylinders. I just find it odd that I didn't feel or hear anything, yet the computer claims I had a bunch of misfires?
See what codes are in history. The blinking is normally related to conditions that can cause a failure of the emissions equipment, normally misfires. Pull the specific code (which should be stored unless you disconnected the battery).
