Check engine light flickering

Post by 03bug »

So I had some issues with my car and went to check for codes and found out I didn't have a bulb in place so I put one in and checked my codes. Once I was done I unplugged the black wires and noticed that my light would flicker when the car is running. I tried to clear the light by disconnecting the battery but it wont go away it just flickers. It's not a constant flash. Anybody experience something like this?

Mine does ti when there's a code but its because of robs tune that it flickers constantly when there's a code present. A normal flash indicates a knock condition.

Oh cool. What a concidence. I figured you would have mentioned a mod like that but you never know. You've got a code then. Weirded me out when I first saw it too.
