update. will be checking the ecu tomorrow for any code.
ok so on the way home from work tonight. the cel would flash rapidly and constantly when i have throttle. like cruising with foot on the throttle. but at idle it would flash normally..

any check engine light that blinks means that there's a missfire in 1 or more banks.
