I had an old accord that basically lost a cylinder (blew a valve or something) but could still drive down the road with check engine blinking because that cylinder was “misfiring.”
It happened far away from home too. I drove several dozen miles with my unintentional 3 cylinder swap.
Interesting, I’ve never heard of that. What does it blinking signify?
Misfiring in my experience
Typically it’ll happen when your engine misfires due to an ignition coil crapping out. So the engine is now firing on only 3 cylinders if it’s a 4cyl
Imminent catastrophic failure.
It can mean a misfire too.
