99 accord check engine light flashing. what's wrong?
hi today on the way home from work my car jerked alittle while
accelerating. i thought nothing of it so kept driving. when i almost got home the car jerked again when i acclerate and the check engine light came on flashing. b/4 when check engine comes on it didn't flash but this time it did. i know all about the loose gas cap but i don't think that's the issue. what kind of damage am i looking at and around how much it will cost this fix it? my can has 106k miles on it.... TIA sam |

Re: 99 accord check engine light flashing. what's wrong?
Check Cylinder 3's spark plug, when did u change your plugs last? 100,000
miles is a decent time for new plugs. When u check the plug you can check the wire too. I don't think the fuel pressure is an issue, it would cause more of a problem, and would be noticible.
