Flashing CEL means misfire. Check your plugs and wires. Also possibly a bad injector, or a problem with the tune. Who did your tune?

my tune is from westers. i had tune over 3yrs and i never had problem with tune. i will check my spark plugs. and wire.

but i notice that when i spot on traffic light, my engine feels like it spits out. and my rpm goes un and down little bit like up to 700rpm and low as 400 rpm

with is not normal my stay about 550rpm

well i took out all spark plug wires to see. and i found 3 wires at top where part it goes go coilpak turn to blue from copper. 3wire were bad. i change em with stock ones i had i had 8.5mm wire but guess those wires failed me lol

i's been awhile since i took it to WOT to test if the car still have CEL flash or not. good news it does not miss fire n e more. and i have took it too all the way upto 6100rpm to see if it fails me and no problem after changing wires.

thank you guys!!!!!!
