A flashing SES is usually freeze framing misfire info, you probably have P0300 random/multiple misfire, take it to an Advance Auto or Auto Zone and get it scanned for free.

make sure all your plugs and wires are tight...i was running high rpms in my bird and one of the spark wires came off. Couldn't see it until night and you could see the spark arcing to the block.
