Default CEL came on. HELP!

MY check engine light came on today. It would flash then stay on solid. Then flash again and stay on solid. It is really bouncing at idole. I checked my gas cap and oil and it all fine. I hope this is not a major problem. All i have is an AEM V2 CAI for years. This is the first time I have seen the CEL light on. What should I do?

Flashing CEL=car is undriveable. Autozone lets you take the obdII sensor home (for a good while too) so grab another car and get taht code pulled.

You have two mis-firing plugs as evidenced by your codes (303=#3 cylinder misfire/304=#4 cylinder misfire.....300 just says random misfires) The key code here is the intermittent 1399 which is why you OBDII is on again of again as a critical failure (i.e. blinking CEL). My guess is that somehow your ignition coil connector has become loose. Reseat it and see if the blinking goes away, If it does then you are clean and can remove the battery termnla to reset the ECU. If reconnecting the Ignition connector does not fix it the yo need to take it to the dealer so they can pull the whole series off OBDII.
