Great video and low oil was my problem. Thanks!

if it is orange or yellow you don't have to worry. You still need to get checked but it won't be engine damaging and will even go through inspection.
If the light is red is where the damaging stuff shows and you need to pull over quickly. Orange will not light for no oil or an over heating situation.

I got my spark plugs changed, a new ignition coil, i had a coolant leak i got that replaced as well. What could it be ? At first it was throwing misfire but i got all that changed

Does light need to be on for scanner to work? Auto Zone told me that if light has gone off - the scanner won’t work.

I am currently borrowing a car from the mechanic. I have had it for almost a month and when accelerating fast today my check engine light started blinking yellow for a few seconds but disappeared when I stopped accelerating quickly.

Could I have caused this problem over a month or is it possible the car was already in bad shape? It's a 2008 Ford fiesta.

I'm panicking a bit that I destroyed the car somehow lol. Thanks

Bro, the check engine light flashing is not your temperature gauge or your oil you have separate gauges for those your oil light will come on or your temperature will become hot on the gauge LOL it usually means a bad ignition coil! LOL nice video

Just changed my spark plugs and the engine is now shaking and getting a squalling noise when I start the car(2006 Impala). Any suggestions? flashing engine light.

CEL flashes at high speed only and then stops when I get to about 60 mph. It doesn’t register a code with a scanner, oil is good, coolant is good, transmission fluid is good. Changed plugs and wires and it still does it. What would be next? Thanks.2001 Chevy express 2500.

Shift solenoid or plugs done/gapped incorrectly 😊
