Hi All,
I have a 2003 Aviator with a 4.6L. The Check Engine light came on with codes 0302 and 0308 (misfires). The dealer changed the plugs and cleared the codes. One week later the engine has no power under load and the check engine light is blinking and turns off... a total of 9 times now. I know that one reason for a blinking lamp is that misfires are so severe that raw fuel is being dumped out the exhaust and can cause severe damage. Oddly, there are no OBD codes stored when the check engine light blinks so the dealer told me there was nothing they could do. Does anyone know why the check engine lamp blinks without storing codes? The dealer apparently will not troubleshoot misfires without codes. There must be a reason for the light to blink and not store codes.
Thanks for your assistance, Jim
