I have a 2005 Cavalier and when i accelerate it flashes at me. But other than that its fine. Any ideas on what could be causing it?
lose wire maybe for the light. but have the car scanned at autozone anyway

Flashing CEL used to be misfire.

I would check for cracks or breaks in youre plug wires, Also Could need a set of spark plugs.
Good Luck.

Eco doesn't have plug wires.
Could be a bad coil pack, could be a lot of things, but yes, a flashing CEL means misfire.

Alright had the car coded at autozone and nothing so i will be putting spark plugs in friday and if that dont fix it then a new coil pack will be on...thx for all the help....but i have another question.....here lately my gauges have been acting up....like i could be goin down the road and all of a sudden my fuel and temp gauge will just fall flat and my check gauges, theft system,maintenance needed and my brake lights come on. But then they will come back up and only the theft system and maintenance needed lights stay on. And occasionally my speedometer and tachometer will fall and come back on. Could this be an issue with the spark plugs?
