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?
Imminent catastrophic failure.
It can mean a misfire too.

In my case it meant the cilinders were scrapping against the block with zero lube
My wife hates it when that happens
