Flashing check engine with traction light on

FYI Driving very long with the CEL flashing is a good way to burn up the catalytic converters.

Yea it’s been parked awaiting parts to come in.

Good news! Replaced cylinder 8 ignition coil and wire, cleared codes and were back in business. Attempted to change the plug also but didn’t have the right elbow to loosen it. I will change them all together in the summer.

Man, is cylinder 8 hard to get to! Went through the wheel well and it was still difficult.

Yeah I had a fouled #6 plug and it did the same thing. Misfire, transmission acting like shit. Lights and codes flashing. I took it in to a shop that scanned it for free for me. He said it was that cylinder. Take it home and change the spark plugs. Which I did and it ran perfect. That was over a year ago.
