Thread: Engine light flashing never seen that before?

I've had this happen your car probably ate a spark plug. Check all your plugs or just replace them all. Same goes with the wires.

That whole catalytic converter convo above is a bunch of BS!

Not exactly misfires have a very big potential to cause over heating in the Cats. As the chemical reaction takes place in the cat it actually gets warmer than the exahust flow itself. Add that with any unburnt gas making its way into the cat and it can actually ignite in the cat itself causing the cermaic to melt

If you are going to take it somewhere to get the work done, ask to see the plugs afterwards. If one or more than one is smashed, you have bigger issues to worry about. So ask to see the old parts, and make sure you tell them before hand so they don't throw them out in the process.
