Brian random misfire was deleted from your PCM yes? As in the box was checked that said No Mil light or just the one that says dont store code? (theres on/off/ and "X") You know there is two versions of "off" posible that you didnt set it to full off. Flashing SES ive ever seen has been random misfire. Check plug wires, and atap for misfires - you know the drill. Also did you possibly crack a plug or one of the plug ends fall off?

Id take your current program and check it for codes that are off, consider setting back to stock then with the codes you want full off

Go back and turn all of your codes back on. Its a pain, but it will let you know what you SES is.

Flashing SES usually means misfires and all the joy that comes with them.

Good Luck,
Kevin

Hey D!ck I said "You know that" as in you prolly already did (or the sentence would have ended in a ? mark) and followed that by saying you know the drill.

I could say a lot of things that make you look dumb, but its not my place to do so. Sometimes even the Mr. John Q. Accel himself can possibly overlook a small thing, I was trying to make sure there was no dumb stuff missed, @$$!

My opinion is same as NoGos which I said set back to stock then start deleting codes one by one as they appear and you determine they are supposed to occur (emissions BS etc)

Random thoughts
Injectors plugged in, making full contact and firing, not clogged?
IAC?
CPS being off would show misfire.
Cracked plugs, see if you cna bring it up to 2500 where it flashes and check each plug wire for an arc.
Bent pushrod
Misfire detection not off
Wayy too lean/rich.

Not saying you wouldnt knwo to check all these things now, so dont get your panties in a wad.

How exaclty did the thing run at MIR and did it have this problem?

ok, i think i found out why its flashing the ses light, but now i cant figure out how to make it stop.


number 1 and 6 cyl's are missfireing bad over 2000 rpm's. number 1 gets up to the 130's then back to zero and anything over 90 it flashes the light.

the motor was out of the car a few weeks ago, is there a plug that might be loose or something?
