2001 Honda Civic EX check engine light flashing?

I been having problems with my 2001 honda civic with the check engine light flashing on and off. I leave it running for a couple minutes but get this the check engine light turns off for some time then after driving it for awhile it starts to shake and gives a sound that it wants to turn off as that's happening the Check engine light is flashing and the exhaust starts to steam or smoke.I've replaced the spark plugs and also the up stream and down stream sensors.

There's no helping an idiot that keeps driving a car when it has a flashing CEL! What don't you understand about catastrophic failure! You'll be walking soon enough you won't need to worry about what to throw at it next!

I know auto parts has something that they plug up to your car and it gives them a code that tells you what's wrong with your vehicle

The flashing is a warning to stop driving immediately and have the vehicle towed to a repair shop. Chances are you have damaged the engine by now.

You probably should check your engine you dumb *****.

Hey did you ever find out what was going on with your car, my car is doing the same thing, I no longer drive it, but want to get it fixed, but unsure how much it will cost.

  • Check engine light, open door light, and batterie light all came on and won't go off? 2000 Honda Odyssey I already had the altinator replaced it a month old. The batterie almost a year old. Would the belt need be changed or something else?
  • Flashing check engine light on 02 Honda Oddyssey after Valvoline oil change? Got an oil change at Valvoline, and next day check engine light began flashing. Car was running flawlessly before oil change. They suggested a new fuel filter, as mine was pretty rough. I declined. Got error codes of random misfire, as well as cylinder 1,2,4,6 misfire. Scanner at auto zone listed EGR valve as suggested part. Could this possibly be that the fuel filter is bad or was put back on incorrectly?
  • Honda Civic 2004 LX flashing engine light after thermostat change? I have a Civic that was overheating and I got the engine light checked out and was told to change my thermostat. I changed my thermostat and I refilled it with coolant and for some reason the engine light started blinking and it never went off?
  • 2001 honda civic check engine light goes on then turns off? I have a 2001 honda civic with high mileage. I just took it on for an oil change and put summer tires back on. A few days later the check engine light came on and then shut off and then came back on and goes on and off every few days. The car doesn't seem to be driving bad although it does seem to shake a little bit. What could this be?
