two step and blinking cel

soooo...

I let my friend try my two step tonight (haha he shall remain nameless) and he was too slow off the clutch

after that the cel started blinking

now the car feels fine, responds fine, nothing at all actually. we checked the codes and I had a catalyst code, a fuel pump code, and a misfire code; all of which I expected to see (no harm from any, I was already aware of the cat code, the fuel pump code and expected the misfire due to two stepping it)

like I said everything feels fine. The only reason why I'm posting is because I was just reading another thread where a member was having an issue and a blinking CEL resulted. with that, another member posted saying that a blinking CEL is really really really bad.

I think everything is ok, but any opinions?

thanks guys!!

Blinking check engine light is from a misfire. Its detecting a certain number of crank jerk cycles.

so once again, everything should be ok, correct?

I always expect a code from the wot box, not to mention the light stopped blinking

sooooo don't sweat it?

The Mis-Fire CEL will turn itself off as soon as the mis-fire stops.. You're cool
