Flashing usually indicates that the issue needs immediate attention, and is more than emissions related (as in take your car to the dealer right away).

The CEL on (not blinking) indicates an emissions related issue, but not critical....

So I had a feeling there was a problem with my high flow cats because it had a funny rattle so I took it to a shop to get it checked out and the cone filters inside shrunk and were just moving around. Is this a normal occurence for hfc?I'm gettin them cut out right now and turned into testpipes so I can drive. It deffinately looks like they would interupt the flow of the exhaust I will post pictures when I get home and pm Tony about this
