Celica Forums General Discussion General My 2000 Toyota Celica turned off while accelerating

I need some recommendations:

While I was running the car, the check engine light mark (flashing) and engine starter to lose power then it turn off the car. Later I start the car and it did the same, it’s start with accelerated and lose power until it turn off the car.

What could it be?
Right now, I start the car, it’s running normal and there’s no check engine light mark on

Possible misfire in the cylinders, would advice hooking up a scan tool to diagnose the specific issue but when the engine light flashes at you you are not to keep accelerating you are to let off the accelerator until the light stops flashing, if it stops flashing after that then proceed with your doings but get it scanned right away so no further damage may be caused. If I were you though I would not drive the car until the issue is fixed, if your not a wrench turner then do take it to your most trusted mechanic shop and have them look at it.

Flashing engine lights are not a good sign, neither are still lights but that I usually ignore depending on what failed, say an O2 sensor kinda useless it only tells the emissions police if the car is passable or not.
