Question CEL flashing at times

Hey all,


I'm new to this site and don't really know anything about cars, so I came to you. Yesterday, my car (05 Scion tc) CEL came on and my car began almost kicking like it was fighting itself (engine area it seems)--


Now this morning, while driving into work, the same thing was happening and every 5 minutes or so, my CEL would blink for a couple of seconds..


Side note- over the past few months, I've had to change the engine coils and I believe coil 2 just went and is the last one I have to replace.... Could that be the issue?


I'd appreciate any feedback--- gonna try and see a mechanic today if possible. Thanks again

Could be that coil,just go to Autozone and ask them to run the scanner for you,they might be able to pinpoint to the cause of your car issue......hope that helps!

sounds like if there is a massive loss of power and it's bucking/surging. that the catalytic converter is gone.. yeah get the code and post it up..
