A blinking engine light is a serious warning from your vehicle's onboard diagnostics system indicating a severe engine misfire. This misfire can lead to unburnt fuel passing into the exhaust system, potentially damaging the catalytic converter, a costly component. Unlike a steadily illuminated check engine light, which suggests you should have the car checked soon, a blinking light means the issue is critical and needs immediate attention to prevent further damage. It's advisable to reduce power usage (e.g., by turning off the air conditioning) and have the vehicle inspected by a professional as soon as possible.
