Summary: The check engine light does a fantastic job of giving an early warning sign that there’s something wrong with your vehicle. However, diagnosing the real issue can get tricky if it’s just blinking when accelerating. Usually, the problem is isolated to the engine block, with fuel delivery, crankshaft position sensor, or air intake being the possible culprits. Scanning the car using an OBDII diagnostic tool and then replacing the broken part is the initial step toward addressing the problem.
