    I'm sure someone will correct me if im wrong but I always thought a blinking cel is a missfire in one or more cylinders. It makes sense too because it only seems to happen when you have the car under load, and not in neutral.

    Ageeed. A bad O2 or somenthing like that would cause a steady CEL - not a blinking one.

    Troy,
    wouldn't that be a steady CEL instead of one that comes and goes depending on the load?

    Most if not all OBD I cars don't set misfire codes. The car should store the code even if the light goes off. Get it scanned.
