Default Blinking CEL

as soon as i leave my driveway (engine still cold) i have this moron in a nissan "morono" on my *** flashing his lights and honkng at me as if i'm going to slow (speedlimit in my area is 25)... i punch it and lose his *** and i notice while boosting my cel blinked rapidly. i quickly stopped boosting shifted into neutral and coasted to the next light...i drove to work no problems, keeping it under 3k and no cel came up...

i went on an errand and boosted on the highway again and no cel etc...
maybe the engine was just cold?

any ideas?

the cel isn't on steady or blinking at all.

i think it’s warning signal…. i had same problem, first of all i did diode mode it took me a while to readjust, for a first few days I was easy on it, but in about a week i start having misfires under heavy loads, i was thinking it needs more time to adapt… coz it was ok on normal driving but misfiring under heavy loads, not higher RPMS – i was able to take it to 5-6k on the highway accelerating slowly… i fixed my problem changing coils, get home check your cel and if you have misfire it’s about time to get new ignition coils.
