This morning, my SES started flashing and the car is idling much more rough than usual. Some background info: The SES light is usually always on, I'm running an Off-Road Y pipe. The flashing isn't constant. It will flash sometimes and be solid sometimes. The speed of the flash is like the turn signal. I noticed that a vast majority of the time, the flashing starts when I hit the gas, and stops shortly after i let off the gas. In addition, the last time I drove it, the Y-pipe hit a speed bump in the apartment complex I live in. I hadn't driven it since then and the car was parked no more than 30 seconds after the speed bump incident. I noticed the car also doesn't start like it normally does. It starts like after I leave the battery disconnected for a while. It's not quite as long of a hesitation but it doesn't start right up like it did before. Any help would be appreciated.

Blinking SES light = you got a miss fire.
Are the plugs & wires old?

Multiple Misfires.

You are going to have to have the codes scanned and go from there.

The plugs and wires are the ones that came with the car. They have approximately 39,000 miles on them.

wrencher, would it make a difference if he had colder plugs and wires?

I think I have the same problem only my SES light does not flash it just stays on the whole time. I tried reseting it but it still came back on. My has NG6 plugs and MSD wires (that are higher capacity wires therefore colder I assume?).

Any help is appreciated.

I had my blinking SES with ORP on car, did Autotap, and found multiple misfires and passengers front O2 sensor had taken a ****, replaced it with new one and cleared codes and car was fine!!!
