If your CEL is flashing, you shouldn't drive the car. It sounds like the timing is off. If the mecanic was one tooth off with the timing belt, your car would run like hell and you run the risk of bending valves.

You blew at least one ignition coil. Its common(so common there should have been a recall), happens to all of us, takes literally under 1 minute and $30(per coil) to fix.
