Default Flashing CEL after cam

Finished my cam install, first start up it idled great and about a min in the check engine light starts flashing for about 3 mins then goes off for a few and comes back on flashing, does this every time I start it. Could it be that it's not tuned, any and all help welcomed it's also no storing any codes

Quit running the car and get it scanned. A flashing CEL means a critical fault. Find out what it is and fix it. It is more than likely way too much fuel. After a cam install the car should always be tuned before driving.

Havnt drove it, just started it to bleed the coolant system. But after testing everything and putting my tech 2 scanner on its just dumping fuel, pretty much saying its destroying my non existing cats

Did you change injectors?

What are the codes?

No codes, but figured it out, it was because the cam is "big" the computer thought it was misfiring when it was just the "lope" that's how the tuner explained it. all good now
