I am having a heck of a time decoding your post. Was your service light or CEL flashing? Is it still flashing?

If it was a flashing CEL it means a misfire - if it was your service light it normally means the instrument cluster is fubared.

The fix for the cluster is to either replace the cluster or yank the service light out and forget about it.
