ok, so ive come to the conclusion that my Check Engine light is MESSED!

It use to just flash all the time.

now, its all over the place.

When i changed my alternator, it went away for 2 days.
When it came back, it was solid. no flashing.
then it went away again the next day.
the day after that it came back.
today its flashing again.. AHHHH@ lol

i'm going to try to jump the two together to get the codes if i figure out how to do that.
where are the pins i need to jump? under the hood neer the firewall?

yes, keep the ignition ON but engine off. It will blink in a series. Search for CEL codes to get detailed info.
