Flashing engine light??
Just had a flashing engine light come on and no codes thrown. The car is idling really rough and major decrease in power. The engine seems to be shaking alot more than normal upon visual. Any ideas?

I understand its a misfire now but not sure whATS causing it. The problem just ocurred well after mods installed and tuning done. Car ran great until this just happened.

Hmmmm.... I never had the issue in my vette but I know that Dodge uses the flashing engine light as an indication to take your car in immediatly. I had it happen in my truck and it turned out that my valves we burnt. kaley

Check ALL the plug wires. I burned one and it happened to me. It was very slight but it did cause a misfire.

robz,
The guys are right, the flashing light means misfire(s). I have this issue on my car right now. I would check a few things:
* The wiring harness/connection from the coil packs
* All plugs
* All plug wires
* All connections/wiring to the injectors
Hope this helps...
