Flashing CEL
whats up with that??? i've got a 2000 accent w/ a CAI and exhaust and every now and then periodically my CEL will start to flash for like 10 secs then go out.....but it doesn't store the code to memory???
Has anybody ever had this happen or know what it could be???
Please let me know..
Thanks

a flashing CEL indicates a serious problem, or a Misfire that could damage your cat converter. It should store those codes for 60 driving cycles.
If your CEL just "flashes" but doesn't stay on, it's probably just a wiring issue/fault.

Kelly! eek!
Like Random says, FLASHING CELs are NO Good!
Take it into Focus and get it checked out!
It's still under warranty, talk to Tom and get him to get Alex to work on it.
Hope it's just a loose wiring issue
Maybe it's all that BASS you have wink

Hehe wink
The clicking noise might be the spings? I dunno, just guessing.
As for the Gel Cell, talk to Dave, he's got hook ups at Part source. Not sure if they still have the one he got Kenny, and for the price, but call or email him. He can check.
Oh yeah, TALK TO TOM when you go to Focus, Harvey is ok too, but DO NOT TALK TO RANDY. He'll try to sell you a new battery or heck, will probably sell you a new car wink Tom is your BEST bet though!
BTW: How's things? Email me if you wanna talk that way smile.gif
