Blinking CEL

[LX_F23A1]

I have a CEL for knock sensor, and vtec solenoid. Going onn the highway today vtec kicked in once and then struggled to remain engaged. Finally the ecu went into limp mode and the cel was blinking -.-

check your oil

you felt vtec engage?

 

[LX_F23A1]

Oil level is fine, and yes you feel it engage normally and then disengage due to the reason that it goes into limp mode

Get thr CEL code first then figure out from there assuming won't help

EDIT: My fault miss read your post it might be the knock sensor which is causing the flashing CEL when I did my swap I forgot to connect the knock sensor tab and it flash might be damage

But also is it whats causing vtec to go haywire?

i thought a blinking CEL could possibly be a misfire.

If it is a missfire what are some causes out of curiousity?

And ill go run my codes again to see if there is a missfire
